Practice Relating to Rule 120. Accommodation for Children Deprived of Their Liberty
Spain’s LOAC Manual (1996) provides that children under six years shall be housed with their mothers.
The manual also states, regarding the placing of prisoners in camps, that “family sections” are provided “in order to house family groups”.
Spain’s LOAC Manual (2007) states that, in prisoner-of war camps: “Arrangements must be made for children under the age of six years to stay with their mothers.”
The manual also states that, in internment camps: “Family groups are accommodated in the family section.”
