      Most Western Countries at least try to adapt policies that abide by them… whether or not they are followed is another story.
      Russia, Iran, and China go out of their way to shit on them and try and create a new world order so they are not even bothered by such standards.

    For all the people saying that nobody follows the Geneva Convention, countries tend to uphold these rules because they need international support. Other countries will impose harsh economic sanctions or embargos on the country that breaks these laws and the other belligerent may be sent aid. Also, treating the enemy troops well will make the enemy more likely to treat your own troops better.

    I find these laws hypocritical because these laws applies to only state actors like a standing army of a country whereas non state actors like terrorists and insurgents are not expected to follow these rules. This gives those people an unfair advantage which makes them able to produce more tangible success on the battlefield than a standing military organization. It's like a boxing match where one person is expected to follow all the rules and regulations whereas the other is free to break all the rules and regulations. That's why states employ, train and fund non state actors to achieve their objectives against another state because they don't have to follow these rules.
