Discussion: The Geneva Conventions and International Humanitarian Law

The Geneva Conventions are an attempt at creating a separate, rules-based global ethical framework. In this discussion, you will explain the purpose of the Geneva Conventions or other international humanitarian law and examine how that law resonates with your personal ethics. Discussing international humanitarian law with your peers can help you learn more about how ethical frameworks aid in understanding human actions.

Note: Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial and response discussion posts.
