Users can download ratification lists in PDF or Excel formats from the “States party to the main treaties” link. Each treaty features a dedicated homepage with introductory information and access to specific articles. The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols include both original and updated ICRC commentaries, while tapping on “About this text” divulges general details about each treaty. Selecting a state name under “State parties” will direct users to a compilation of all active treaties pertinent to that state.

This section is organized by topic followed by specific rules, accessible only in English. Each rule is accompanied by a comprehensive explanation. For related practices concerning individual rules, users may navigate online via the “Related practice” feature at the top of the page; please note that an internet connection is required for this function.

Law and Policy Documents
The law and policy documents section aggregates public resources from both the ICRC and the International Red Cross and Crescent Movement (Movement) that elaborate on various IHL concepts and related matters. It is organized by document type, with all entries available in PDF format across multiple languages.

PDFs
Users can download PDF versions of treaties and documents, including volume I (rules) of the ICRC’s 2005 study, in any of eight supported languages, conditional on available translations. This option appears via a designated icon when viewing any document. Upon installation of the app, all PDFs available in the device’s selected language are automatically downloaded. It is advisable to use a separate PDF reader for optimal viewing.

Search Features
