Prisoners of War
n accordance with international humanitarian law, authorized military bodies of conflicting countries can take enemy military personnel prisoner only in order to prevent their further participation in an armed conflict. We fight for the rights of prisoners of war which are not treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention (III) on Prisoners of War of 1949.
In case a soldier has been captioned, his location and health condition must be immediately reported to his family. However, families are often unaware that their relatives have been captured. We send official requests to the corresponding authorities and help people locate their loved ones and find out their current status.
Prisoners of war should be allowed to both send and receive letters, as well as receive parcels containing food, clothing, medicines, religious items and items for their education or entertainment. We seek compliance with this right by sending appeals to the relevant authorities.
Prisoners of war should be guaranteed access to qualified medical care. In addition, the parties to the conflict are obliged to send those who are seriously ill and have been severely wounded to their homeland, ensuring their transportability.
Our team has a track record in the successful release of POW’s: we send official appeals to the authorized bodies in Ukraine and seek inclusion of our applicants in the exchange lists.
With your help we will be able to rescue even more people from captivity. Please support us.
