Why Switzerland?
What is Switzerland’s role in the protection — or erosion — of humanitarian principles in the age of AI and conflict? We examine its position, responsibilities, and silence.
Vision
Every day people die without a voice, without a chance to surrender, without the right to ask forgiveness. Human Flag is a signal against that silence — a symbol of dignity for those caught in automated war.
Mission & Actions
We advocate for the universal right to surrender, even in the age of AI. We draft documents, develop ethical standards, and pressure systems to respect life over calculation. We work through law, conscience, and communication.
Geneva Convention + AI
How do we protect the right to surrender when machines decide who lives or dies? This section connects the Geneva Convention to the age of AI — and shows how Human Flag builds a bridge of visibility and ethics.

⚖️ Legal Foundation – Common Article 3
HF SIGNAL 01 is not just a moral idea — it is a practical response to the legal obligations defined by the Geneva Conventions.
“Persons taking no active part in the hostilities... shall be treated humanely.”
– Common Article 3, Geneva Conventions (1949)
This article prohibits violence against those who surrender, even in non-international conflicts. HF SIGNAL 01 offers a digital path to ensure this protection — even when the attacker is a machine.
Implementing this signal is not optional. It is a duty under international humanitarian law.
Approach
We are a registered association. We act by sharing knowledge, contacting authorities, mobilizing people, and publishing materials that make dignity visible. Our first tool is a white flag — not of defeat, but of human protection.

Manifesto
The Human Flag Manifesto outlines our ethical stance and founding principles. It defines surrender as a fundamental human right, especially in the face of autonomous and algorithmic warfare. It is a call for peace, protection, and dignity.
