Art. 1-48 -- volume 2. Art. 49-143. 520 $a "The Third Geneva Convention remains the most comprehensive instrument for the protection of prisoners of war in international law today. Its purpose is to ensure that all such prisoners are treated humanely and held in decent conditions, regardless of which side they belong to. The ICRC produced its original Commentary on the Third Convention in 1960. Seventy years later, there is a need to look at the provisions of this fundamental treaty through the prism of new developments in law and practice. As with all international law, the Convention is a living instrument, and it must be interpreted and applied in light of contemporary circumstances. In view of the decreasing respect for the basic human values enshrined in international law, the updated Commentary on the Third Geneva Convention is timely. It crucially clarifies the status of prisoners of war and the treatment due to them, so that what these rules mean today is understood by all. The Convention aims to protect the physical and mental integrity of prisoners of war and to ensure that the detaining authorities provide for their physical and psychological needs. Under its provisions, murder, torture and any other form of inhumane or degrading treatment are prohibited. Prisoners of war must have access to food, health care and hygiene facilities, and it is mandatory to identify detained persons and to enable them to maintain contacts with the outside world so that they do not go missing"--Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War $d (1949 August 12) 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a War (International law) 630 07 $a Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War (1949 August 12) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01774122 650 7 $a Prisoners of war $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077241 650 7 $a War (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170412 655 7 $a Law commentaries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01774248 655 7 $a Law commentaries. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a DoÌrmann, Knut, $e editor. 700 1 $a Henckaerts, Jean-Marie, $e contributor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a International Committee of the Red Cross. $t Commentary on the third Geneva Convention. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108979320 $w (DLC) 2021031737 830 0 $a Commentaries on the 1949 Geneva Conventions. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020013053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1D5426DCBFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
