Which international instrument establishes the four treaties and three protocols addressing humanitarian treatment in war?

• A. Geneva Conventions
• B. UN Genocide Convention
• C. UN Convention Against Torture
• D. Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

Answer: (A)

The Geneva Conventions establish the four treaties and three protocols addressing humanitarian treatment in war. The four conventions set out protections for wounded and sick soldiers, shipwrecked members of armed forces, prisoners of war, and civilians during armed conflict. The three Protocols later added to and expanded those protections, covering international and non-international conflicts and introducing additional safeguards. Other listed instruments focus on separate issues—genocide, torture, or nuclear non-proliferation—and do not provide this comprehensive humanitarian framework.
