Does the Geneva Convention apply to American wars?

    The USA is a signatory to the Geneva Convention. However the Geneva Convention only relates to the treatment of Prisoners of War, and Nothing else.

    Define war.

    Obama doesn't call us at war in Libya, Afghanistan, or Iraq. And the congress never authorized war.
