The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols are at the core of international humanitarian law, the body of international law that regulates the conduct of armed conflict and seeks to limit its effects. They specifically protect people who are not taking part in the hostilities (civilians, health workers and aid workers) and those who are no longer participating in the hostilities, such as wounded, sick and shipwrecked soldiers and prisoners of war.

Brief description of the Geneva Conventions and images showing their every day violations in the occupied territories.
WE, International Community HAVE the DUTY, the legal, moral, human OBLIGATION to do everything we can do so these Conventions, and particulary IV Geneva Conventions which applies to Palestinian people, which not only should, but MUST PROTECT these people are respected.
The violation of these articles represent war crimes, and even crimes against humanity.
And it’s not only Israel, but we as silent accomplice who are guilty as .
Some notes :
The first Geneva Convention of 1864 dealt exclusively with care for wounded soldiers; the law was later adapted to cover warfare at sea and prisoners of war.
In 1949 the Conventions were revised and expanded:
1st Convention
- wounded soldiers on the battlefield
2nd Convention
- wounded and shipwrecked at sea
3rd Convention
- prisoners of war
4th Convention
- civilians under enemy control

2. Call Representative Bill Batchelder. He is a very good man. I’ve known
him for years. But he has been misled on this issue. The word is he is
wavering. Your calls can convince him to withdraw his support. That can kill
this bill.
