Nice to see we actually have these rules, even though nobody follows them in war
Most Western Countries at least try to adapt policies that abide by them… whether or not they are followed is another story.
Russia, Iran, and China go out of their way to shit on them and try and create a new world order so they are not even bothered by such standards.
@@ronaldayoub hamas kidnapping people and holding them hostages and flying in on paraglides and gunning down innocent people at a music festival is following Geneva convention?
@@ronaldayoubonly reason Palestine was having more casualties is becoz instead of finding solution to protect civs they only plan was mass murder
@@johnfartenhiemer4134they holding hostages is not against Geneva convention no official news says (with proof) that they treat any hostage against the laws.
Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions prohibits the taking of hostages.
Under the Statute of the International Criminal Court, the “taking of hostages” constitutes a war crime in both international and non-international armed conflicts

Infantry: If we're surrendering, we can wave a white flag to signal it.
Tank crews: We turn our turrets away form enemy lines while advancing towards it to signal a surrender.
Ships: We can lower our colours from the mast to signal a surrender, since having it up is required to attack.

Don't get it, wrote the link on the search bar and only showed kratos falling mem- oh I get it
Thanks for this nice checklist I'll be following for this Christmas!
Countries during the Geneva Conventions: ok I’ll follow it.
Countries after the Geneva Conventions: *I don’t give a shit*
So true 😭
Nice rules. Shame they dont work at all, but still.

Even though it doesn't work 100% of the times this rules are very important because as nations we should have aspirations to be less brutal in wars because we know that wars cannot be 100% prevented and I'm sure thousands of lives has been saved by these laws.
@@venomancer5736 It's not nations who to to war. It's governments who do that, and they are filled by psychopaths and maniacs who couldn't give a shit about them rules even if they wanted to. NO amount of us saying "hmm, yes, when insecure propaganda pumped degenerates are sent off to kil innocent people they should be careful to not hurt them too much", will ever do any good. Whatever few people were saved, were saved by individual strenght of morality within someone somewhere. Not rules that were made knowing no one will follow them.
@@venomancer5736 The point is not to completely nullify atrocities but to keep human suffering as low as possible.

The four Geneva Conventions are key international treaties that form the core of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), which regulates the conduct of armed conflicts and seeks to protect those who are not participating in hostilities, such as civilians, medical personnel, and prisoners of war. The conventions, adopted in 1949 after World War II, set out the fundamental rules of war and aim to limit the suffering caused by conflict. They include:
The First Geneva Convention: Focuses on the protection and care of wounded and sick soldiers on land during war, ensuring they receive medical attention without discrimination.
The Second Geneva Convention: Extends similar protections to wounded, sick, and shipwrecked soldiers at sea, as well as ensuring they receive appropriate medical care and treatment.
The Third Geneva Convention: Provides detailed rules for the treatment of prisoners of war, outlining their rights, conditions of detention, and protections against torture and mistreatment.
The Fourth Geneva Convention: Deals with the protection of civilians during times of war, including the rights of people living under occupation, ensuring they are treated humanely and safeguarding their rights to life, food, medical care, and protection from violence.
The Geneva Conventions, along with their Additional Protocols, represent the legal framework that limits the brutality of war by safeguarding human dignity, promoting humanitarian efforts, and ensuring that all parties to a conflict adhere to common standards of decency. These conventions serve as the foundation for the laws of war, emphasizing the need for ethical conduct even amidst the chaos of armed conflict.

Thank you for the explanation. I have learnt a lot from this.
All world leaders: The Convention is more what you'd call guidelines than actual rules.
Every single country that ever went to war never followed these rules. They're as useful as my cat
And just like your cat, it is constantly violated by people like me
How edgy @@balkancommenterwithseveree7552
Remember it’s not a war crime if you win
🇺🇸🇺🇸
Its called armageddon for a reason
For all the people saying that nobody follows the Geneva Convention, countries tend to uphold these rules because they need international support. Other countries will impose harsh economic sanctions or embargos on the country that breaks these laws and the other belligerent may be sent aid. Also, treating the enemy troops well will make the enemy more likely to treat your own troops better.
I agree people just are too "cool" to understand
Never heard of Israel

We need to do better for ourselves, our loved ones and every soul on this rock we share.
Laws anywhere mean nothing if there's no one capable to uphold them
Thank you.

@@junfour go right ahead. Deuteronomy 20 is also recommended reading
@@junfour selective learning AND projection. Is there anything you can't do?
@@junfour have you read the Quraan?
@@junfour the Quraan discusses a very wide variety of topics, but given the context of our discussion, here are some verses on forgiveness and tolerance:
Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians-whoever ˹truly˺ believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve (Al Baqarah 62)
Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood.1 So whoever renounces false gods and believes in Allah has certainly grasped the firmest, unfailing hand-hold. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing (Al Baqarah 256)
O believers! Stand firm for Allah and bear true testimony. Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice. Be just! That is closer to righteousness. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Aware of what you do. (Al Maidah 8)
Only counts if you don’t win.
Geneva checklist is pretty comprehensive
I'm sending this video to my doungeon and dragons players.
Geneva convention? nah fam i like the geneva suggustion
The only rule of war is WIN.
The only questions are WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE, and DO I HAVE FREE WILL?
Sad that nothing on here mentions nuclear warfare
Please are there IHL clubs? I want to identify with one.

"POW must be humanily and notably never murdered or torture"
Japan and Germany in 1941:I supose to can't hear that
The Geneva Conventions were created in 1949 as a consequence for that.
But this was made in 1949, how the hell were germany and japan supposed to hear that in 1941?
It was created after ww1, because Canada have done 3 war crime.
My country breaks these the most to
I find these laws hypocritical because these laws applies to only state actors like a standing army of a country whereas non state actors like terrorists and insurgents are not expected to follow these rules. This gives those people an unfair advantage which makes them able to produce more tangible success on the battlefield than a standing military organization. It's like a boxing match where one person is expected to follow all the rules and regulations whereas the other is free to break all the rules and regulations. That's why states employ, train and fund non state actors to achieve their objectives against another state because they don't have to follow these rules.
United States and you guessed it ISRAHELL are non state actors!!! They literally are given a choice of whether or not they want to be held accountable. It's so flawed it's basically a nonexistent set of rules.
All Combatants are expected to follow the rules. The Convention makes it clear that it applies to non-State actors and mercenaries.
Now, they might not follow them while Standing armies do- but that's a good thing: The Criminals don't have any rules but the Police do and the police always has the upper hand in any confrontation. No terrorist org has fighter Jets or Hypersonic missiles

They are not party to it e.g. didn't sign it
If this is a law then Israel is in violation of them.
No country should be given a waiver from the Geneva Conventions!
It’s the law
Imo im sure both participants in-war will do everyhing to win.. so this rules might be ignored
Never be murdered or tortured… say that again 🌹🌹🌹
NATO: I will pretend I didn't see that
NATO is the side that actually upholds it.

Islam allows torture of Prisoners of War. Muhammad tortured Kinana ibn Al-Rabi after capturing him at the Battle of Khybar and tortured him with fire to force him to reveal the location of the city's treasury.
Gaza and arabs use non of these rules
Has the ICRC seen the hostages hamas has taken to Gaza? Have they tried to see them? Have they been able to write home? Have they been protected under the 3rd convention? I haven't heard Guterres mention this
“Geneva Suggestion” you mean.

Don't forget Hamas Raped and killed Israeli women and children which started the war.
and Russia ignores all of that to threat everyone else.
CIA bots ignores middle east
Palestine?
IDF don’t give two shits lol 😂
it’s absurd that wars should have rules!
It is not. There should be limitations; specifically, rules that prohibit harming children, women, medical workers, POWs, etc. Don't forget, these rules were created to not have a repeat of WW2's attrocities
oops

Clearly Russia is following that very strictly😅
Geneva jokes
Well it sucks that these “rules” are ignored by pretty much everyone except the United States. Not that the US ALWAYS follows the rules but we try to most of the time and when we don’t we at least act like we tried. 😆😂🤣
