    The amounts due by the Detaining Power to prisoners of war on their releaseor repatriation are not paid to them in cash. Instead, the prisoners mustreceive a statement signed by an authorized officer showing all amounts dueto them.

The DetainingPower is also obliged to send, through the Protecting Power, if there isone, to the Power on which the prisoners depend a comprehensive list showingthe credit balances of all prisoners’ accounts. The third paragraph obligesthe Power on which the prisoners depend to settle with the prisoners (i.e.pay) the amounts the Detaining Power owes them.
