The agreement set down the rules for the treatment of prisoners taken in a war situation explicitly putting down that prisoners of war (POWs) would be prisoners of the Power which holds them and not of the unit that had captured them and that they must be treated with honour and allowed to live in humane conditions. 2. The protocol also established that prisoners of war need only truthfully give their names and ranks and that they cannot be coerced to reveal other details about themselves or the operations they have been involved in. 3. All these caveats are to establish the individual as the linchpin of humanity. The Geneva Conventions that originally only addressed the treatment of combatants was later expanded to include noncombatants and civilians as well. Monitoring The Geneva Conventions have a system of Protecting Powers who ensure that the provisions of the conventions are being followed by the parties in a conflict. In theory each side must designate states that are 113 not party to the conflict as their Protecting Powers. In practice the International Committee of the Red Cross usually plays this role. Which countries are signatories? The Geneva Conventions have been ratified by 196 states including all UN member states.
