Rules and Regulation under the Geneva Convention:

The Geneva Convention states that POWs are usually members of the armed forces of one of the parties to a conflict that fall into the hands of the adverse party. It says POWs cannot be prosecuted for taking a direct part in hostilities. Their detention is not a form of punishment but only aims to prevent further participation in the conflict. They must be released and repatriated without delay after the end of hostilities.  According to the Geneva Convection, the detaining power may prosecute them for possible war crimes, but not for acts of violence that are lawful under International Humanitarian Law. The rules specify that POWs must be treated humanely in all circumstances. They are protected against any act of violence, as well as against intimidation, insults, and public curiosity.

These are the rules that are made under the Geneva Convention and now let’s see there are some four Treaties under the Geneva Convention that are also important to know.
