As explained in JDP 1-10 ‘Prisoners of War, Internees and Detainees’, the following procedures meet the requirements set out in the 1949 Geneva Conventions (GCs),1 Additional Protocol I (AP I) and NATO Standardisation Agreements (STANAGs) 2033 and 2044. The Chapter and its Annexes are arranged, as far as possible, to follow the chronological sequence of a Prisoner of War (PW) progressing from the point of capture to his eventual release from captivity. A PW Handling Aide Memoire can be found at Annex 1A.
