Argentina’s Law of War Manual (1989), referring to Articles 71, 72, 74, 75 and 76 of the 1949 Geneva Convention III, provides: “Prisoners of war shall be allowed to send and receive letters and cards.”
The manual also provides that internees shall be enabled “to give news of a strictly personal nature to members of their families, wherever they may be, and to receive news from them”.
