The Geneva Conventions comprise four treaties, and three additional protocols, that establish the standards of international law for the humanitarian treatment of war. The singular term Geneva Convention denotes the agreements of 1949, negotiated in the aftermath of the Second World War (1939–45), which updated the terms of the first three treaties (1864, 1906, 1929), and added a fourth treaty. The First Geneva Convention (1864), for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded in Armies in the Field, is one of four treaties of the Geneva Conventions.
