There is no Geneva Convention for kids  (Geneva Convention Quotes) It’s hard for me to see how members of al Qaeda could be considered prisoners of war. I think they clearly do not fit within the prescriptions of the Geneva Convention  (Geneva Convention Quotes) What’s happened at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq is one of the grossest violations of human rights under the Geneva Conventions that we have record of.

Mostly it is played by prescribed rules--there is a sort of Geneva Convention for competition--but it’s thorough and often brutal  (Geneva Convention Quotes) The left, of course, will say Carson doesn’t believe in the Geneva Convention, Carson doesn’t believe in fighting stupid wars. And - and what we have to remember is we want to utilize the tremendous intellect that we have in the military to win wars  (Geneva Convention Quotes) If you are going to kill the families of terrorists, realize that there’s something called the Geneva Convention we’re going to have to pull out of.

It’s very vague. What does that mean, ˜outrages upon human dignity’?  (Geneva Convention Quotes) I think Obama is right when he talks about the rule of law as a cornerstone of what the United States should stand for. That can encompass our elected officials’ adherence to law and our country’s return to the Geneva Conventions.  (Geneva Convention Quotes) What is the Geneva Convention on wars! I have never read it  (Geneva Convention Quotes) The Pentagon said that these prisoners were kept in accordance with the Geneva Convention, and of course I was not reassured by that, but I couldn't prove that that was wrong; so we're clearer about that  (Geneva Convention Quotes)
