Under the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC), detainees are entitled to certain protections and humane treatment. They must be treated with respect and provided with adequate food, water, shelter, and medical care. Additionally, detainees have the right to communicate with the outside world, including contacting family and legal representatives, and must be protected from violence, intimidation, and reprisals. Their rights are further safeguarded by provisions in international humanitarian law, particularly the Third Geneva Convention.
Detainees will be treated humanely at all times.
Under the Geneva Conventions, it is false to claim that civilian detainees do not have the right to humane treatment and respect for their dignity. Additionally, they are entitled to legal protections and should not be subjected to torture or inhumane treatment. The conventions also mandate that detainees should be provided with adequate food, water, and medical care. Therefore, any assertion that civilian detainees can be treated without regard for these rights is inaccurate.
