''Schedule 3—Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War of August 12, 1949 PART II.—GENERAL PROTECTION OF PRISONERS OF WAR, ARTICLE 13''
Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or
omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the
health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a
serious breach of the present Convention. In particular, no prisoner of war may
be subjected to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of
any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of
the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest.
Likewise, prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly
against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity.
Measures of reprisal against prisoners of war are prohibited.
Nothing in this Part shall be interpreted as limiting or prejudicing in any way existing or developing rules of international law for purposes other than this Statute.
