Exactly:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Geneva_Convention

It includes protection of citizens, rules of occupation, and prohibitions 
of collective punishments.  All three are included here.

To be fair to war criminals, I think strict application of all clauses of 
all the Geneva conventions would essentially outlaw war itself.
