About this product
As the Cold War flared into dozens of little hotspots from South America to Asia, the United States military deployed special forces advisers to help defend allies from communist-supported insurgencies arising from within their own borders. Produced for the benefit of these military personnel, "Geneva Conventions and Counterinsurgency" tackled the question of how to apply the Geneva Conventions to these brutal, nasty little wars, where unconventional weapons and tactics were common and respect for human rights was minimal. Describing Article 3 of the 1949 Conventions in depth, this vintage informational film explained not only what obligations American forces and their local allies had towards enemy wounded, enemy prisoners and local civilians, but also why offering such protections would further the legitimacy of the local government when facing a brutal and subversive enemy.

Alfred Hitchcock. Muhammed Ali. Meryl Streep. LL Cool J. James Hamilton has captured them all.

On January 23rd, 1968, units of the North Korean Navy seized the USS Pueblo, an intelligence gathering ship operating in international waters off the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula. With the ship and its crew in their custody, the North Koreans proceeded to milk the incident for every ounce of propaganda value, producing dubious evidence to show that the Pueblo had repeatedly violated North Korea's territorial sovereignty. "The Pueblo Incident: Analysis of the North Korean Evidence" was the U.S. Navy's official response to the North Korean allegations. Hosted by a young naval intelligence officer, the film systematically demolishes Pyongyang's propaganda claims, revealing its evidence to be crude forgeries - and its seizure of the Pueblo to be an unprovoked act of aggression.
