The two schools are named after the venue for the international conferences drafting treaties on war and conflict, especially the Hague Conventions 1899 and 1907 and the Geneva Conventions, which were drafted for the first time in 1863. Both Hague Law and Geneva Law are branches from jus in bello, namely international law regarding acceptable practices in the conduct of war and armed conflict).
