Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1949 Geneva Conventions are a set of international agreements that are designed to protect individuals who are not actively participating in conflict, including prisoners of war. While the Conventions do not explicitly outlaw the use of certain types of weapons, they do place limits on the methods of warfare that may be used in order to reduce harm to civilians and non-combatants. The other options (A and B) are not accurate descriptions of the Conventions.
