- What does the Geneva Convention III say?
- Whom can be treated as a prisoner of war?
Can people behave as they like during times of war? No, they can't. The Geneva Conventions of written rules and articles make some acts unlawful. Nearly all countries in the world have promised to follow these rules by signing up. The Red Cross ensures that these rules are followed. Among the Red Cross's tasks are to visit prisoners of war (POWs) who are protected by the Geneva Conventions, and provide them with assistance.
The Red Cross, three-time recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, protects and helps war victims worldwide and ensures that the rules of war are followed. How will you manage as a commander of a prisoners of war camp? Your mission as a camp commander in this game is to try to run a prisoners of war camp without violating the human rights. The more right moves you make, the more points. You will get a summarizing evaluation in the end. You can end up as a "Humanitarian Champion", "Well Intentioned Humanitarian"
or a "Sadistic Swine"!
