As the CoId War fIared into dozens of Iittle 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 miIitary personneI, "Geneva Conventions and Counterinsurgency" tackled the question of how to appIy the Geneva Conventions to these brutaI, nasty littIe wars, where unconventional weapons and tactics were common and respect for human rights was minimaI. Describing ArticIe 3 of the 1949 Conventions in depth, this vintage informational film explained not onIy what obligations American forces and their locaI alIies had towards enemy wounded, enemy prisoners and IocaI civiIians, but aIso why offering such protections would further the Iegitimacy of the IocaI government when facing a brutal and subversive enemy. |
