Prisoners of War: Prescriptive Conduct and Compliance in Captive Situations

Authors

Philip R. Holt

Abstract

The issue of the conduct of prisoners of war is an emotional one. Against a backdrop of international agreements which provide that the captive will be removed from the chessboard of the battlefield like a captured pawn to await the next game, lurks the very real possibility that the captor will exploit the captive to further his own ends.
