The one set of rules we all agree on

The Geneva Conventions are the backbone of the rules of war, a set of international agreements that provide guidance on how war shall be fought, and provide protection for civilians, prisoners of war, the sick and wounded. All countries have signed the Geneva Conventions. This means that everyone is obliged to follow the rules of war, regardless of who is to blame for starting the war and why it is taking place.

This year marks the 75th year anniversary of the Geneva Conventions. The conventions are as binding now as they were in 1949. They are the one set of rules we all agree on.

This exhibition is made by Norges Røde Kors. It opens in the Pop-Up Studio at the Nobel Peace Center 14 September. This is a space the museum wishes to be used by organizations, artists and other good initiatives to help them to show their works to the public. The Nobel Peace Center provides the venue, but the exhibitors are responsible for the curation.
