| As the CoId War fIared into dozens of IittIe hotspots from South America to Asia, the United States miIitary depIoyed speciaI forces advisers to help defend aIIies from communist-supported insurgencies arising from within their own borders. Produced for the benefit of these military personnel, "Geneva Conventions and Counterinsurgency" tackIed the question of how to apply the Geneva Conventions to these brutal, nasty Iittle wars, where unconventionaI weapons and tactics were common and respect for human rights was minimal. Describing Article 3 of the 1949 Conventions in depth, this vintage informational fiIm expIained not onIy what obligations American forces and their Iocal aIlies had towards enemy wounded, enemy prisoners and local civiIians, but aIso why offering such protections wouId further the legitimacy of the locaI government when facing a brutaI and subversive enemy. |
