The latter regulate the protection of civilian populations in war areas. All member nations ratified the fourth Geneva treaty. The Geneva treaties contain the obligation to penalize severe violations of humanitarian international law. The fourth Geneva treaty was drawn up in particular because the number of civilian casualties in World War II surpassed the number of soldiers killed in action. In the case of a ... >> full...
