Statute overview

About this statute

The High Contracting Parties must respect and ensure respect for the Convention in all circumstances. The Convention applies in peacetime, in declared war or other armed conflicts between High Contracting Parties, and during partial or total occupation of a Party’s territory, even without armed resistance. In non-international armed conflict, each party must apply the minimum protections listed in this article, and humanitarian bodies may offer assistance. During hostilities between land and naval forces, this Convention applies only to forces on board ship; forces put ashore immediately come under the 1949 Geneva Convention for wounded and sick armed forces in the field. Neutral powers must apply the Convention by analogy to specified protected persons and the dead found in their territory.
