Shortly before the attack commences, an officer tells Isoroku Yamamoto, "The Emperor wishes to follow the Geneva Convention. A declaration of war will be delivered at 1 pm, 30 minutes before the attack." The Geneva Convention deals solely with the treatment of POW's and non-combatants. Japan ratified but did not sign the Geneva Convention. He likely meant the Hague Convention of 1899, which covers the rules of war, and which Japan signed. Senior Japanese officers would be well aware of that.
