Ironically enough, the US, Turkey, Iran, Israel, India and Pakistan have not ratified it, although the US and Iran have signed it so that indicates that they intend to work towards ratifying it...some day...some time...

Then again, who really cares about the Geneva Convention these days, I mean who is going to uphold it? The UN?
Well played, though I think that you got the wording wrong (nukes are not mentioned in this: https://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/7c4d08d...25641e0052b079 text for example within the articles you have specified).

Article 51 sections 4 and 5, article 54 section 2 are aplicable, but then if you interpret their wording strictly then a lot of people are warcriminals instead of warfighters.
