2. Prote ction during the occurre nce of crime s
Even during the occurrence of criminal incidents such as wars at all internal or external levels, protection
is required and it has tools not only legitimized through the current regime, rather through particular
international law or international provisions such as the United Nations conventions, including the Geneva
Conventions of 1949, which provides for the protection of victims during wars, whether they are soldiers,
wounded, civilians or prisoners, and property; protection is required. Yet, not punishing the perpetrators of
these crimes leads to their increase and worsening. We saw through the media how people of Yazidis,
Christians and Shiites were slaughtered by ISIS in Mosul. What are the Geneva Conventions and basic
international treaties in the field of international humanitarian law, if not legal means at the international
level. They define the rules of protection of persons in situations of armed conflict, including soldiers from
certain injuries, prisoners of war, but also civilians and their property, resorting to protection and treatment
as the mechanisms of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in addition to the Red Cross
and other relevant institutions. The first Geneva Convention dates back to 1864. However, provisions have
been written after World War II applicable today. Seven provisions are being worked on at the moment.
The four Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and the ratified Additional Protocols of June 8, 1977,
and the third Additional Protocol of 2005. The four Geneva Conventions are on a global level; this means
that all the countries of the world agree to comply with them. Here international intervention has proven its
legitimacy in more than one place in the world. Yes, international intervention has become inevitable in
order to save innocent people, not only in situations of war, but also during the [phase] of reconstruction
after the war. The example of Iraq is very clear in this regard. It will not be possible for the Iraqis to
succeed in its reconstruction with all their resources, abundance in oil, and agricultural, industrial, touristic
and human wealth, as the decision lies in restricted hands, which created for themselves a special status
and immunity at the expense of the state, and they are not easily ousted by the people, not only because of
the violence exercised against them, but also [due to] the presence of members of these parties in all
administrative and legislative facilities, which try to pretend to apply directives, but say to those who do not
have a [member of a] party or gunmen behind them, "you cannot get close to them." Violence has
different forms.
3. Prote ction afte r the occurre nce of crime s
After crimes have occurred, it is on the government to learn from the many lessons in order to restore the
respect for the rights of a person, independent from the reasons and the type of destructive incidents the
victim experienced. At the same time, compliance to the national and international legal tools is
unavoidable to begin to rebuild the human being and the destroyed property, costing what it costs. In case
