The Hague Convention of 1899 are a series of international treaties and declarations negotiated at two international peace conferences at The Hague in the Netherlands. Along with the Geneva Conventions, the Hague Conventions were among the first formal statements of the laws of war and war crimes in the body of secular international law. The Convention with respect to the Laws and Customs of War on Land contains the laws to be used in all wars on land between signatories. It specifies the treatment of prisoners of war, includes the provisions of the Geneva Convention of 1864 for the treatment of the wounded, and other provisions. The section was ratified by all major powers mentioned above. The Hague Convention of 1907 reaffirmed these rules with minor revisions and was also ratified by the major powers. More
