Answer:

What are the rules of war?

It's a timely question in the wake of attacks on civilians, aid workers and hospitals in conflict zones around the world. Just this week, three hospitals in southern Syria were bombed by pro-government forces, according to The Washington Post.

After such incidents, there are many references to the "rules of war."

In January, a British MP wrote an op-ed in The Guardian calling for the prosecution of the forces in Yemen led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates "for any violations against civilians and breaches of the rules of war." This month the coalition's forces have been attacking the port city of Hodeida, Yemen's lifeline to critical aid, food and fuel.

Doctors Without Borders has this month declared "that the conduct of hostilities in Syria may violate the basic rules of war."

The president of UNICEF in Canada has declared, "Around the world, the rules of war are under attack — and so are millions of children."

The Origins of the Geneva Conventions

The rules of war are part of the Geneva Convention and they first were established in the 19th century.

They dictate what can and cannot be done during armed conflict. They aim to protect people who are not fighting in the conflict and curb the brutality of war by setting limits on the weapons and tactics that can be employed.

Representatives of aid groups say there is a growing disregard for these rules in conflict zones around the world. "It has become glaringly obvious that respect for international humanitarian law is in decline," says Scott Paul, the humanitarian policy lead of Oxfam America, a global aid agency.
