Is this allowed under the Geneva Convention?

Posted by admin on December 4th, 2009 and filed under geneva convention | 6 Comments »

Someone has suffered in their life or they have a really tragic story to tell. Two women (let’s call them Kathie and Hoda) drag them onto television and increase their suffering tenfold by making them listen to an incredibly sappy and/or maudlin song. I ask you, should this be allowed to continue?

The Geneva Conventions consist of four treaties and three additional protocols that set the standards in international law for humanitarian treatment of the victims of war. If these women are classified as victims of war as prisoners and their rights have been violated, than they should be protected. Otherwise, as sad as their stories might be, the conventions have nothing to do with them. There are civil and criminal laws, which might be applicable to their situations.

    If you’re talking about the View, it’s a crime against humanity to even air that show.
