I had look, and Geneva doesn't work the way we need it to work for our purposes.
Geneva prohibts attack of any civilian location. But it also prohibits *any* military use of civilian locations. In fact, in discussing hospitals, it goes so far as to say that handguns and similar arms taken from military personnel prior to treatment are OK. That's because ANY other millitary presence is unacceptable.
The problem is that Geneva seems to assume, in its approach, that both sides agree to use Geneva.
