Thomas Malinowski of Human Rights Watch says one reason for Washington to observe Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions is that U.S. soldiers may one day become prisoners.
Some human rights advocates have suggested that instead of proposing to disregard any parts of the Geneva Conventions, the U.S. government should work with the international community to revise the rules of war to account for unconventional combatants such as Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

 (12/7/2003) Will Washington Allow Geneva Peace Plan To Work?
In contrast to Washington's insistence on focusing upon the thus far unsuccessful confidence-building measures described in the Roadmap, the architects of the Geneva Initiative went directly to the issues at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and developed a detailed outline for a permanent-status agreement.
Not surprisingly, Washington has not been terribly supportive of the Geneva Initiative, since it is only through such distortions that the United States can justify its support for Sharon's rightist government, its occupation forces and its colonization drive in the West Bank.
Principal Israeli negotiator Beilin has stated that he is resigned to the fact that "The Geneva Initiative will not be accepted by Washington." Despite this, however, he and his Palestinian counterpart were able to arrange a meeting with Secretary of State Colin Powell over Sharon's strident objections.
