Explanation:

The 1949 updates to the Geneva Conventions established clear, formal protections for prisoners of war (POWs) and civilian populations caught in wartime and conflict zones, addressing gaps exposed by World War II. The other options describe roles of other UN bodies or post-war tribunals, not the core purpose of the 1949 Geneva Convention updates.
