[edit] Ummm...

Is it me or does this article completely not say what this convention actually does. It describes the history and what it pertains to but not what the convention actually is, what protections it affords. 129.42.208.182 20:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Have 196 countries signed the First Convention or the Fourth? Why would countries still be signing the First Convention when there was an updated version available? If Japan & Russia did not sign the Second Convention, did they sign the First before WWII? JMcC 18:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 12 States i think

The text here says 16 states came together to sign the geneva convention. I make it 12. here's my source. http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/WebSign?ReadForm&id=120&ps=P Can't get much more authoritative than the ICRC itself when it comes to Geneva conventions. I would do it myself, but i'm sure someone would get shitty at me for not referncing it (as i don't know how). So i'm giving you the reference and you can do it yourself.130.195.86.40 05:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
