It is the position of the ERRC that the Geneva Conventions Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951), according to which the Polish Roma concerned were considered for asylum, no longer reflect the real situation of persecuted groups and de facto refugees in the world.
However, it is possible to say at this stage that several individuals have been charged with grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and with violations of the laws or customs of war arising from attacks made by the Yugoslav Peoples’ Army on the Dubrovnik region between 1 October and 31 December 1991.
Such detainees are still entitled to fundamental guarantees of humane treatment under the Geneva Conventions and may not be tortured or degraded, according to international law.

The 1949 Geneva Conventions extend special protections to prisoners of war (POWs) belonging to uniformed armies.
The Hague conventions of 1899 and 1907 and the Geneva Conventions of 1929 and 1949 established international rules dealing with the treatment of prisoners of war.
The Geneva Conventions are associated with the activities of Henry Dunant, who witnessed the Battle of Solferino in northern Italy in 1859, and identified a desperate need to aid the wounded of armed conflicts.
