Geneva Protocol
The Geneva Protocol is a treaty established in 1925 that prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons in warfare. It was created in response to the devastating effects of these weapons during World War I, aiming to enhance international humanitarian law and protect soldiers and civilians from such inhumane tactics.
The protocol was signed in Geneva, Switzerland, and has been ratified by many countries. However, it lacks enforcement mechanisms, which has led to challenges in compliance. Over the years, additional agreements, such as the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention, have been developed to strengthen the prohibition against these dangerous weapons.
