Humanitarian legislation comprised mainly of the four Geneva Conventions (1949) and the two Additional Protocols (1977), intimately associated with the responsibilities of the International Committee of the Red Cross and of the National Red Cross or Red Crescent Societies. Its main purpose is to provide protection and assistance to victims of armed conflict. Also referred to as the Law of War, the Law of Geneva. (Material V - Gunn, S.W.A.
