message: The introduction says "The use of the flag to surrender is included in the Geneva Conventions."  Which Geneva convention? It is mentioned in Protocol I mentions a flag of truce under the section Perfidy, but is it mentioned anywhere else?
A flag of truce is mentioned in "CHAPTER III: Flags of Truce" Hage IV of the Hague Conventions (1907) but there does not seem to be a mention of the colour. --Philip Baird Shearer 10:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "A person is regarded as a parlementaire who has been authorized by one of the belligerents to enter into communication with the other, and who advances bearing a white flag." -- Hague IV (1907), annex, "Regulations respecting the laws and customs of war on land", section II "Hostilities", chapter III "Flags of truce", article 32 http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hague04.asp so I attempt to change the phrase mentioned from "Geneva" to "Hague".

Flag of temporary truce in order to negociate or parlé.
A white flag is NOT a flag of surrender. It is a flag signifying non-combatant status, dialoque (ambassadoral for example) which implies a temporary seize fire in order to parlé, a nurses uniform, red cross on a white surface. Where did the idea of a white flag signifying surrender come from, military movie magic? Comments would be appreciated.(Fractalhints (talk) 13:26, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The flag of the Stewards of Gondor from The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien was white without charge as described in LotR/Appendix A/Gondor and the Heirs of Anarion/The Stewards. Could that information be placed in the article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.94.192.149 (talk) 21:03, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Can we make categories to divide up the various uses of the white flag? For example: countries, fictional, sports, societal. Saying the white flag was used in Afghanistan and Gondor without pointing out the meaningful difference between these places is misleading. It would also make the page easier to read at a glance.

message: Section name "The white flag" is not helpful, "Truce or surrender" would be better. And yes it was used extensively for surrender in WWII, e.g. Battle of Hamburg. Facts707 (talk) 20:44, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
