	International Humanitarian Law - Second 1949 Geneva Convention
		The Second Convention may, however, be applied to some extent to neutral countries with access to the sea, particularly during the initial phase when nationals of a belligerent country who are war victims may be considered as shipwrecked.
		An enumeration is justified in the Third Convention, whose object is precisely to lay down regulations for the treatment of interned persons; in the First and Second Conventions it would necessarily have been somewhat rigid and arbitrary, some of the Articles being partially applicable.
		In general, the Geneva Conventions represent minimum safeguards to be accorded to war victims, and the Powers are invited to act more generously.
