The Geneva Conventions related to law of war obligations were established in which year?

1909 1945 1949 1960

Correct Answer:

1949

Explanation:

The question tests knowledge of when the modern protections for people in war were established. In 1949, after World War II, the Geneva Conventions were adopted in their current form, creating and codifying obligations to protect the wounded and shipwrecked, prisoners of war, and civilians. They entered into force in 1950. The other years don’t correspond to the adoption of this modern framework: 1945 marks the war’s end, not the adoption; 1909 and 1960 aren’t tied to the establishment of the post‑war conventions.
