Collection of texts of the Geneva Conventions together with annexes and additional protocols - With an introduction by Thomas Riegler

In a world where conflict and war are omnipresent, international humanitarian law appears as a beacon of hope, ensuring the protection and dignity of individuals in the darkest hours. The Geneva Conventions, at the heart of this area of law, provide a fundamental framework that curbs the atrocities of war and offers protection to both combatants and civilians in times of armed conflict. This book provides a collection of all four Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols and serves as a reference work for students, academics, practitioners of international law and anyone interested in the principles of international humanitarian law. With an introduction to the subject, this book introduces the reader to the historical development, fundamental principles and practical significance of the Geneva Conventions. The introduction sheds light on the circumstances of their emergence, the challenges of their application and the role they play in today's globalized world.
