August 22: Geneva Convention Signed
EditThe First Geneva Convention, signed on 22 August 1864 in Geneva, Switzerland, marked the establishment of a binding international treaty that set forth rules for the humane treatment of wounded soldiers on the battlefield. It also laid the foundations for the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and initiated the development of modern international humanitarian law.
