There are currently 196 countries party to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, including this and the other three treaties.

The Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War was first adopted in 1929, but significantly revised at the 1949 conference. It defines humanitarian protections for prisoners of war. There are 196 state parties to the Convention.
