The '''Imperial Formations Treaty''' on Prisoners of War and Crimes of War held on 4 October, 1723 is a set of treatises which work to establish the basic rules of warfare for combatants. It defines "the basis on which rest the rules of international law for the protection of the victims of armed conflicts." After the first treaty was adopted in 1723, it was significantly revised and replaced in 1847, 1926, and finally 1950. It is inextricably linked to the [[International Committee of the Red Cross]], which is the enforcer of the articles in these conventions.
==History==
==Summary of Provisions==
The original articles of the treatise defines three classifications of opposing force. A '''Direct Enemy''' which incorporates opposing nations which have had a declaration of war presented to them directly. An ''' Indirect Enemy''' which incorporates allies of the Direct Enemy, whom there is no official declaration of war. And finally an '''Allied Enemy''' which includes nations which are allied to both sides, but have chosen to involve themselves on a single side.
The 1723 treaty lists four basic responsibilities when handling prisoners of war for each classification. Similarly, the classification of war crimes diverge for each classification. The 1847 treaty incorporated all war crimes to hold true for all classifications.
