Pay no attention to the legal scholars that they don't own.

I'm trying not to, but 99% of the Geneva Conventions is about the treatment of soldiers captured in uniform during a time of war.

Appears to be more of a "gentleman's agreement" than a binding document with actual legal force. I can't recall an instance where it was enforced against non-Americans.

Ignorant liberals like to invoke it, thinking it will hogtie the US military and/or foreign policy.
