The Protocols additional to the Geneva Conventions
The world now has a population of 5 billion, as against 1 billion in 1863 when the Red Cross was founded and the codification of the law of armed conflicts was initiated. For almost a century, the Red Cross concerned itself successively with soldiers wounded in action, victims of naval warfare, prisoners of war and civilians abandoned in wartime to the arbitrariness of foreign rule
Synopsis VII—Combatant and prisoner-of-war status
Only the members of the armed forces of a Party to a conflict (other than medical personnel, chaplains and military personnel engaged in civil defence) are combatants (Hague Regulations, Art. 1 and 3; P. I, Art. 43 and 67). Combatants are entitled to take direct part in the hostilities (P. I, Art. 43), i.e. to commit acts of war which are intended by their nature or their purpose to hit specifically the combatants and other military objectives of…
Synopsis VIII — Conventions and Neutral Powers
A neutral Power may authorize the passage over its territory of the sick and wounded belonging to the belligerent armies, on condition that the trains bringing them shall carry neither personnel nor war material. In such a case, the neutral Power is bound to take whatever measures of safety and control are necessary for the purpose (Hague Conv. No. V, Art. 14). (Personnel and materials necessary to treat the sick and wounded are consequently auth…
Synopsis IX
The persons protected by the Geneva Conventions must be accorded respect in the first place because they are human beings. But they also are entitled to a certain degree of respect in their capacity as individuals, soldiers, nationals of a foreign State and, to a certain extent, as combatants
Synopsis VI
In case of armed conflict, the following groups are entitled to relief: — the civilian population of an occupied territory (Fourth Conv., Art. 59; Prot. I, Art. 69); — the civilian population of a territory under the control of a party to the conflict, other than an occupied territory (Fourth Conv., Art. 23, 38; Prot. I, Art. 70); — prisoners of war and civilian internees in the territory of a Party to the conflict or in an occupied territory (Th…
The Geneva Conventions and Reciprocity
In 1981, the Twenty-fourth International Red Cross Conference, in Resolution VI, deplored the fact that in several armed conflicts fundamental provisions of the Geneva Conventions were being violated and that those violations impeded the International Committee of the Red Cross in the discharge of its activities. In spite of the Conference's solemn appeal to remedy the situation, there are still signs of reluctance to fully respect those fundamen…
Synopsis IV
Families have the right to know the fate of their relatives (P. I, Art. 32). Each Party to a conflict must search for persons reported missing by an adverse Party and must supply all relevant information on such persons to facilitate the search (P. I, Art. 33)
Synopsis I
Following the technical notes it has previously published, International Review of the Red Cross is now starting a series of synopses on various current topics in the field of international humanitarian law. The following is the first of such summaries, entitled “Protecting Power”
Synopsis II
Customary law concerning the protection of civilian populations against the effects of hostilities is essentially based on the rules of the law of The Hague. The general principle underlying it is set out in the Declaration of St. Petersburg (1868) which states “that the only legitimate object which States should endeavour to accomplish during war is to weaken the military forces of the enemy”
Texte de synthèse I — Puissance protectrice
A la suite des notes techniques qu'elle a publiées précédemment, la Revue internationale de la Croix-Rouge entreprend la publication de textes de synthèse consacrés à divers sujets d'actualité dans le domaine du droit international humanitaire. On trouvera dans les lignes qui suivent un premier résumé intitulé «Puissance protectrice»
Knowledge of the Geneva Conventions
It is foolish for anyone to seek to be wise in isolation. In a world which is said to be given over increasingly to violence, ambition and strife—and to all that flows therefrom—we ask ourselves “What is the Red Cross?” Should we visualize the Geneva Conventions as some verdant island-sanctuary that is preserved in the way that natural riches or cultural assets are preserved? One is put in mind of show-cases in which precious curios are displayed…
What progress is being made in dissemination of knowledge of the Geneva Conventions
A year ago, the International Review pointed out the effort being made everywhere to disseminate knowledge of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and that although these efforts may not be of so great a scale as is desirable, they do show that minds are awake to reality. 1 Some of the achievements in this important field, as revealed by a study of documents recently received by the ICRC from National Societies and various interested authorities, and also…
