Birth of Humanitarian Law: The First Geneva Convention
On August 22, 1864, twelve states signed the First Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded in Armies in the Field. Initiated by Henri Dunant, this landmark treaty established the foundation of international humanitarian law, ensuring protection for wounded soldiers and medical personnel in armed conflict. It also led to the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), a global symbol of aid and neutrality.
