Switzerland
Practice Relating to Rule 138. The Elderly, Disabled and Infirm
Switzerland’s Basic Military Manual (1987) provides: “Belligerents shall conclude special agreements in order to evacuate the … elderly … from besieged areas.” It further provides: “Transports of civilian … aged persons … effected by vehicles and hospital trains, shall be respected in the same way as hospitals.”
Switzerland’s Regulation on Legal Bases for Conduct during an Engagement (2005) states: “
Women and children as well as elderly and disabled persons must be specially protected.”
