Summary/Abstract: The Geneva Conventions and Supplementary Protocols according to the attitude of contemporary doctrine and decisions of international judicial bodies are a part of customary law and as such are binding even for those countries that have not signed them. The problem of their application is created in situations where it is impossible to determine who it is necessary to apply a certain norm or who is responsible for violating a particular norm. The emergence of new participants in armed conflict additionally complicates this situation.Sources of law in this area have set a good foundation for protection, but all these rules remain a simple letter on paper if adequate protection is not followed to respect these rules. Protection is achieved through several mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is the prosecution of those who violated these rules.
