On the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) emphasizes their significance in protecting civilians and regulating conduct in warfare amidst increasing global conflicts. UN reports indicate a stark rise in civilian deaths, highlighting the urgent need for adherence to international humanitarian law, with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warning of dire consequences for civilian protection. ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric calls for a renewed commitment to the Conventions, advocating for tangible humanitarian improvements and the inclusion of modern warfare technologies within their framework. Despite their historical success, with all states ratifying the Conventions, violations remain rampant, necessitating a global reevaluation of accountability measures. As conflicts continue to proliferate, experts stress the importance of the Geneva Conventions in maintaining humanitarian standards and protecting vulnerable populations. The anniversary serves as a critical moment for nations to reaffirm their dedication to these fundamental laws of war.
