Practice Relating to Rule 87. Humane Treatment
Morocco’s Disciplinary Regulations (1974) instructs combatants to “treat humanely … all regular combatants
hors de combat”.
Morocco’s Disciplinary Regulations (1974) provides: “From the moment of their capture, prisoners must be treated humanely. They must be protected against any acts of violence, insults and public curiosity.”
In 2003, in its third periodic report to the UN Committee against Torture, Morocco stated: “During detention, it is a fundamental principle that there should be no violation of the detainee’s person or dignity.”
