Geneva, August 13 (RHC)-- The International Committee of the Red Cross is calling for nations to respect the Geneva Conventions as the group marked the 75th anniversary of their signing Monday. 

The Geneva Conventions established international legal standards for humanitarian treatment and protection of civilians in war. 

Mirjana Spoljaric, president of the ICRC, said:  “Where are the peacemakers?  As I look at the destruction in Gaza, the relentless conflict in Ukraine and the suffering in Sudan and elsewhere, I think, 'Where are the leaders championing negotiations?'  Seize every chance to deescalate.  The faithful application of international humanitarian law can foster peace initiatives.”
