Practice Relating to Rule 111. Protection of the Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked against Pillage and Ill-Treatment
Peru’s IHL Manual (2004) states:
At all times in an armed conflict, and particularly after an engagement, parties to the conflict must take all possible measures, to the extent permitted by military requirements and taking into account the circumstances and location, in order to … protect [the wounded, sick and shipwrecked] against pillage and ill-treatment and ensure that they are adequately cared for.
Peru’s IHL and Human Rights Manual (2010) states:
At all times in an armed conflict, and particularly after an engagement, parties to the conflict must take all possible measures, to the extent permitted by military requirements and taking into account the circumstances and location, in order to:
(1) … [P]rotect [the wounded, sick and shipwrecked] against pillage and ill-treatment and ensure that they are adequately cared for.
Under Peru’s Code of Military Justice (1980), ill-treatment of a non-resisting wounded enemy constitutes a violation of the law of nations.
