The four GENEVA CONVENTIONS of 1949 (and the 1977 Additional Protocols) form the core of:

1. The four Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 are the central treaties of INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW (IHL, jus in bello — 'law in war'): 2. (i) GC I — Wounded and Sick Armed Forces in the Field; (ii) GC II — Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Armed Forces at Sea; (iii) GC III — Prisoners of War; (iv) GC IV — Civilian Persons in Time of War. 3. The 1977 Additional Protocols I and II extend protections to international and non-international armed conflicts respectively; the 2005 AP III adopted the Red Crystal emblem. 4. Common Article 3 (the 'mini-convention') applies to non-international armed conflicts. 5. Hence option B is correct. _Source: UN Charter 1945 / Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties 1969 / Geneva Conventions 1949 / ICJ Statute / UDHR ICCPR ICESCR — Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 + 1977 Additional Protocols I/II + 2005 AP III_
