eli5: what happens if the Geneva convention is broken? my friend tried to explain to me but I still can’t understand
In: 320
Depends on which country is breaking it and how powerful they are. At minimum it will get them a strongly worded letter from the UN. Other countries can impose sanctions or use other tools at their disposal as a form of punishment. If the country in question loses the war some soldiers or top generals can be prosecuted for war crimes in some neutral jurisdiction (like the ICC).
