Hi!

Is it correct that the Geneva Convention wasn´t ratified neither by Iraq nor by the US?

[steveegg]

I don't know about Iraq's ratification or lack thereof, but of the major Geneva Conventions, the only one that the US has not either signed or ratified is the 1977 Protocols.

No, that is not correct.

The US did not ratify the 1977 extensions to the Convention, otherwise, all previous ones HAVE been ratified.

Status of Iraq? I have heard though that they did (no proof)

The USA has not signed certain recently-added provisions to the GC, which (I think ????) deal with land mines. The USA intends to continue using land mines. But unlike some other countries, we actually KNOW where we put ours...
