What is the point of the Geneva Conventions, if in a major war it will (and has been) ignored?
But isn't it frustrating that some countries can just ignore them?
It certainly can be. However, just because some countries fail to uphold their obligations does not mean that the Conventions have no value. They provide a framework for what is acceptable behavior, and even if some countries violate them, other countries can still use them to hold violators accountable and to ensure that some human rights are still protected during war.
