Abstract
Armed conflict is a prominent feature of our human landscape. The international committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was founded nearly a century and a half ago to preserve a measure of humanity in the midst of war. Even in war there are limits: limits on how warfare is conducted and limits on how combatants behave.
These set of rules established with this in mind and endorsed by 194 nations throughout the world- is known as international humanitarian law, of which the Geneva conventions are the bedrock.
