Actually, there WAS a "GENEVA CONVENTION" - in 1863 - IN GENEVA - where they met to agree on a set of rules that became known as the "First Geneva Convention."

The acts or "rules" passed at these meetings or "CONVENTIONS" became known as "GENEVA CONVENTIONS" (yeah, RULES that came out of meetings/"CONVENTIONS!"

It is easy to get them confused - one is a group of meetings and the other is a set of rules.
