Iraq has signed a Geneva protocol forbidding use of chemical weapons against other countries except in retaliation.

The Geneva Protocol prohibited use but not possession or development of chemical and biological weapons.

The Geneva Protocol of 1925 was a law that set made it illegal to fight with chemical or biological weapons in war.

The United States ratified the Geneva Protocol in 1975.

Iraq resorted to chemical attacks, despite having forsworn first use of these weapons under the Geneva Protocol of 1925.

Geneva protocol may refer to:

These were the latest and in many ways most impressive codification of the law of war, the 1977 Geneva Protocols additional to the 1949 Conventions.

The Iraqi government and leaders behind the campaign were not punished for their campaign of genocide or the violations against the Geneva Protocol of 1928.

A 1925 Geneva protocol prohibits use of chemical weapons but not stockpiling and production, and thus not the development and spread of these arms.

It has waged genocidal war against its own Kurdish minority, using poison gas in contravention of a Geneva protocol to which it is a party.

However, this was technically a violation of the Geneva Protocols which forbade the introduction of jet combat aircraft to Vietnam.

The State Department properly denounced Iraq for its "particularly grave violation" of the 1925 Geneva protocol outlawing use of gas weapons.

The Council reaffirmed the urgency of the strict observance of the Geneva Protocol, expecting both sides to refrain from the future use of chemical weapons.

The Iraqi gas attacks not only violated the 1925 Geneva protocol banning chemical warfare, they mocked the very idea of controlling armaments and warfare through treaties.

As part of the clarification of the prohibition of indiscriminate attacks, Article 52 of the First Geneva Protocol provided:

They further reaffirm their full support for the Secretary General in carrying out his responsibilities for investigations in the event of alleged violations of the Geneva protocol.

Geneva Protocol II (a 1977 amendment to the Geneva Conventions, relating to the protection of victims of non-international armed conflicts)

The Administration will seek, at an international conference in Paris next week, finally to put teeth into the 1925 Geneva protocol banning the first use - but not possession - of chemical weapons.

The relief organization was reported to have told the Kuwaitis that earlier deportations, which numbered in the hundreds, might have been in violation of the Geneva protocols and other international agreements.

Basing refugee policy on country of origin collides with Geneva protocols and international procedures in which asylum is granted, case by case, to any individual with a well-founded fear of persecution.

After World War I, in which mustard agent and phosgene were used as chemical warfare agents, the Geneva protocol (1925) was signed in an attempt to ban chemical warfare.

An important phase in this was achieved in the diplomatic efforts initiated by the Red Cross Resolution of 1965 which eventually led to the 1977 Geneva Protocols, discussed in the previous section.

To abide by the Geneva protocols,both squadrons rotated frequently over the next four years first to Bien Hoa AB, then to later Tan Son Nhut AB.

Although the 1949 Geneva protocols require the two parties to exchange prisoners "immediately after the cessation of active hostilities," Iran refuses to do so, saying hostilities are not over as long as Iraq occupies its territory.

But Mr. Bush also took Attorney General John Ashcroft's misguided advice that the Geneva protocols did not apply to the Taliban army, a position based on the flimsy pretext that Afghanistan was a "failed nation."
