Extract

The four 1949 Geneva Conventions and two 1977 Additional Protocols are major efforts to codify the international rules of humanitarian law in armed conflict. The status of these agreements, indicating which countries have signed and/or ratified them, appears above at I.L.M. page 553. In this message to the U.S. Senate, Protocol I is rejected. Protocol II is recommended, subject to certain understandings and reservations.
