The Syrian conflict began in March of 2011 and is currently ongoing as of December of 2016. In 2015, Russian President Putin has allied with the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to combat against rebel forces.

In September 2016, Secretary John Kerry negotiated a cease-fire agreement between the United States and Russia, in order to allow aid convoys to provide relief. The cease-fire

The Geneva Convention impacted Global affairs by defining war crimes and how to remain humane in a time of war. The Four Geneva Conventions were created by Henry Dunant, after he witnessed a battle aftermath. The Four Conventions talk about how to treat a prisoner, how to treat civilians, how to release a prisoner, and many more things. These articles and rules helped created the “Rules” for war, and what not to do in a time of war. Henry Dunant witnessed the aftermath of the Battle Of Solferino

The Geneva Convention allows the detainees classification as prisoners of war and according to the actual articles of the

Amelioration of the Wounded in Time of War (Shaw, 2013). This document laid out ethical guidelines for the treatment of combatants and became the basis for the Geneva Conventions as we know them today. During the tumultuous events of World War I, the ethical limits of warfare were pushed and expanded in a variety of ways.
