Geneva Conventions
The Geneva Conventions are four treaties that lay down rules to protect people who don't fight in wars, like women, children, doctors, and patients in hospitals. These treaties also protect people who are no longer able to fight, like prisoners of war. The rules help make sure that people who can't fight are kept safe and treated fairly.
