Practice Relating to Rule 116. Accounting for the Dead
Section E. Information concerning the dead
Cameroon’s Instructor’s Manual (2006), under the heading “The Dead”, states: “The ashes and personal effects must be evacuated. A report must be written about the deceased and the measures subsequently taken.”
The manual also states: “Means of identification that have been taken from the dead or otherwise found (identity card, identity disc), must be passed through an appropriate channel (e.g. personnel channel) to the National Information Bureau.”
The manual further states: “The National Information Bureau in liaison with the responsible officer must establish exhaustive lists of all deceased prisoners of war.”
The manual also provides: “After their death, the will of a prisoner of war must be transmitted without delay to the Protecting Power and a certified copy must be sent to the National Information Bureau.”
