  • Summary

    Article 34 grants prisoners of war the latitude to practise theirreligion regardless of their faith. This is especially important sincepersons deprived of their liberty may seek strength in their religiouspractice to cope with their situation and the hardships that come withit. For this reason, the Detaining Power also has an interest inenabling prisoners of war to freely perform their religious duties andin providing adequate premises for this purpose. The humanitarian spiritof this provision therefore accords with the interests of the DetainingPower.
