The Geneva Conventions at 75: A Common Heritage of Humanity - International Colloquium on IHL, Religions, Cultures and Traditions

Who invented humanity in war? Before IHL was codified into the Geneva Conventions, how did people across the world feel about war? What does it mean that the principle of humanity is “universal”? On the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, the ICRC gathered experts of different religions, traditions, cultures and IHL to address some of these questions.
