Under the Third Geneva Convention a foreign POW has more fundamental rights than a US citizen in the USA

Under the Third Geneva Convention, prisoners of war (POW) must be:

  • Treated humanely with respect for their persons and their honour
  • Able to inform their next of kin and the International Committee of the Red Cross of their capture Allowed to communicate regularly with relatives and receive packages
  • Given adequate food, clothing, housing, and medical attention
  • Paid for work done and not forced to do work that is dangerous, unhealthy, or degrading
  • Released quickly after conflicts end
  • Not compelled to give any information except for name, age, rank, and service number

Just a thought. I’d rather be a POW than a homeless disabled person in the USA. I’d have more rights, respect, better support, and better care.

If I take up arms as a guerilla fighter I qualify as a POW upon capture. Flipped tables play no games.

You know I’m actually disabled, and will be homeless and likely dead in a gutter within the next decade. That is what you are shitposting against. That is some serious mental dipshittery

The idea you assume a dissenting opinion is a bot automatically is alarming. Also who’d bother botting here? It seems like half the posts on Lemmyworld are made by like 20 people.

The US broke most of these when they invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.

Unidentified Marine #1: Alpha took three artillery hits. Somebody has an idea we’re here. We’ve got four hours of daylight to make it to our next position. We’re not going to deal with these surrenders from division. Send them all back the way they came.

(Soundbite of dog barking)

Unidentified Marine #2: Roger that, sir.

(Soundbite of Marines speaking)

Unidentified Marine #3: We have orders, Nate.

(Soundbite of dog barking)

(Soundbite of Arabic spoken)

Unidentified Marine #4: Are they (beep) serious? Send them back where? Back to the (beep) death squads?

Unidentified Marine # 2: Sir, under articles 13 and 20 of the Geneva Convention, we’re obligated to take care of and protect any (beep) that surrenders to us.

Unidentified Marine #1: Division has ordered us to un-surrender these Iraqis.

Unsurrender is a terrifying phrase.

Aurenkin ,

Yeah it’s a very haunting and impactful scene in general too, I think the show did a good job of depicting it.

cryptiod137 ,

And most of the were written because of the Canadian Marines, what’s your point?

What is your point?

“Oh sorry we thought is was called the Geneva Checklist”

johny ,

They used the term ‘nongovernmental combatant’ (aka terrorist), because a war can only be between states these combatants were not legally POW and thus had no right whatsoever.

PineRune ,

That’s only when a country follows these rules. Some countries don’t care and will tortue POWs and then ask, “What are you gonna do about it?” Because nobody is able to hold them accountable.

And North Korea’s constitution guarantees a ‘Right of Relaxation’. That is ink spilled on a page. POWs often have (and will in the future) had those dignities denied.

Sounds great until you realise these rules, with respect to POWs, are broken so often that they're barely worth the paper they're written on.
