Sweden’s IHL Manual (1991) considers that the principle of the right to have a sentence pronounced by an impartial and regularly constituted court respecting the generally recognized principles of regular judicial procedure as contained in Article 75 of the 1977 Additional Protocol I is part of customary international law.

The manual further states that “wilfully depriving [a protected person] of the rights of a fair and regular trial” is a grave breach of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
