Some law is fairly obvious. Some law is ambiguous but not technically complex. Some law is complex and obscure and difficult to understand.

The third type of law is where it might be reasonable to give extra difference to experts, and perhaps, if you are merely a normal educated citizen to not consider yourself competent to have an opinion.

Any reasonably educated adult reasonable have an opinion on laws falling in to the other two categories. Parts of the third Geneva convention are ambiguous, and on the whole the convention isn't short and simple, but the ideas and requirements expressed in the law are simple enough for a reasonably educated adult to formulate an opinion about. No special deep expertise in obscure legal knowledge is necessary.
