The main sources of IHL are:

1- Treaties:

Treaties, such as the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the two Additional Protocols of 1977, are written conventions in which States formally establish certain rules. Treaties may also take the form of protocols, covenants, agreements, and so on.

They impose rules only on those States that have expressed their consent to be bound by them.

The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols contain the most important rules limiting the barbarity of war. They protect people who are not taking part in the fighting (civilians, medical personnel, aid workers) and those who can no longer fight (the wounded, sick and shipwrecked troops, prisoners of war).

The 1949 Geneva Conventions:

The First Geneva Convention protects wounded and sick soldiers on land during war.

This Convention is the fourth version of the original 1864 Geneva Convention on the wounded and sick, which was modified in 1906 and then in 1929. It contains 64 articles, which provide protection not only for the wounded and sick, but also for medical and religious personnel, medical units and medical transports.

The Convention also grants formal recognition to the protective emblems.

The Second Geneva Convention protects wounded, sick and shipwrecked members of armed forces at sea during war.

This Convention replaced the Hague Convention of 1907 for the Adaptation to Maritime Warfare of the Principles of the Geneva Convention of 22 August 1864. In ___ _____ ___ _____ ________ ________ _______ ________ _______.
