Practice Relating to Rule 121. Location of Internment and Detention Centres
Peru’s IHL Manual (2004) states:
[Commanders] must ensure that prisoner-of-war camps and internment camps for civilians and refugees and military hospitals are located away from military objectives and objects that, in view of their nature, location, purpose or use, could become major military objectives.
Peru, Manual de Derecho Internacional Humanitario para las Fuerzas Armadas, Resolución Ministerial Nº 1394-2004-DE/CCFFAA/CDIH-FFAA, Lima, 1 December 2004, § 24.c.(9).
The manual also states:
Enemy combatants who have been captured or surrender are prisoners of war and must be evacuated, as soon as possible, from the place of capture to a prisoner-of-war camp located far enough from the combat zone for them to be out of danger.
Peru, Manual de Derecho Internacional Humanitario para las Fuerzas Armadas, Resolución Ministerial Nº 1394-2004-DE/CCFFAA/CDIH-FFAA, Lima, 1 December 2004, § 37.a; see also § 40.d.
The manual further states:
No prisoner of war may at any time be sent to, or detained in, areas where he may be exposed to the fire of the combat zone, nor may his presence be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.
Prisoners of war must be safeguarded by the same protective measures as the local civilian population.
