60 Years Geneva Conventions
In 1949, the current set of four Geneva Conventions was ratified and put into force. Subject matters of the Geneva Conventions are the treatment of wounded and sick combatants on land and on sea, of prisoners of war, and of non-combatants. The four conventions have been signed by all countries on this planet. While the international Red Cross is named as the only arbiter in the conventions, Switzerland acts as depository state for them.
