Geneva Conventions: Words on paper?

In a world where war persists as a stark reality, the principles of humanity and the laws of war must guide our actions.

The Geneva Conventions, crafted in the wake of World War II, represent an enduring commitment to protest those not engaged in hostilities—civilians, the wounded, and prisoners of war.

However, the ongoing genocide in Palestine serves as a painful reminder that without genuine engagement from the international community, these conventions exist only as words on paper, failing to alleviate the suffering of a nation languishing under the weight of prolonged occupation.
