Summary
Article 84 forms part of the general provisions of the chapter onpenal and disciplinary sanctions. It establishes the competence ofmilitary courts for the trial of prisoners of war. Consistent withthe ‘principle of assimilation’, Article 84 only permits theprosecution of prisoners of war before civilian courts if thesecourts have expressly been granted jurisdiction to try members ofthe armed forces of the Detaining Power for the same offence.
