is this sentence correct? Is it Geneva conventions are to prevent or is?
Here is another sentence:
Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have no humanitarian rights and are tortured without conviction.
A battery hen has more rights than POWs held by the US.

Geneva Conventions is plural but part of a prepositional phrase, but you need the sentence to agree with the subject, which is "the main purpose" that is singular…so you use "is" or "was"

No such thing as torture according to Vice President Cheney, that was just enhanced interrogation techniques.
