The Hague Conference (jul 29, 1899 – oct 18, 1907)
Description:
These treaties are known as “The Hague Conventions” because they were adopted at the Peace Conferences that were held in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1899 and 1907. They establish the laws and customs of war in the strict sense, by defining the rules that belligerents must follow during hostilities. This branch of international law is known as the laws of war, as opposed to the one governing the right to receive relief, as defined in the Geneva Conventions that establish the protection of victims of conflict as well as the limitation of methods of warfare.The Practical Guide To Humanitarian Law - The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 - https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/the-hague-conventions-of-1899-and-1907/#:~:text=These%20treaties%20are%20known%20as,belligerents%20must%20follow%20during%20hostilities.
