Sweden’s IHL Manual (1991) notes: “The [1907] IV Hague Convention … provides that contracting powers shall give their land forces instructions that comply with the Convention.”
The manual adds: “For the Swedish defence forces, the commander-in-chief has laid down eight servicemen’s rules pointing out what every combatant must bear in mind in combat situations.”
