Red Cross Calls for Renewed Commitment to Geneva Conventions

On the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, the Red Cross highlights the urgent need for adherence amid widespread violations in global conflicts.

The Geneva Conventions were established to set humane standards for warfare, protecting civilians and detainees.
Currently, over 120 active conflicts worldwide are seeing frequent violations of these international laws.
The Red Cross emphasizes that modern warfare's disregard for these rules leads to increased violence and suffering.
Violations include attacks on hospitals, schools, and aid workers, with some nations manipulating legal loopholes.
Experts argue that reinforcing these laws is crucial to maintaining global humanitarian standards and reducing war atrocities.
