- Have you ever wondered how a prisoner of war (POW) is protected? Or how they become a POW in the first place?
Our colleague Caitlin explains:
*How POWs are different to other prisoners
*What the Third Geneva Convention offers in terms of legal protection
*Why we're involved in making sure POWs are treated humanely and with dignity.

If only there was a way to make people accountable to the Geneva convention
Maybe we could have Zeus or someone like that enforce it.
There is! Belligerent reprisals.
Very informative video. Learned new things.
How Vietnam treated US soldiers was not just their brutal mindset, it was well thought out deterrent strategy.
Communists don't care about the geneva convention, they will justify any evil act as " resistance "
Many lives were saved because of this Geneva Convention thing.
Realistically no it ain't
how do I become a presenter for the ICRC channel? do you have online applications for this?
One question. How are these laws enforced? Especially considering the factor that some countries have nuclear weapons
Why doesn’t POW status exist in non international armed conflicts?
Doesn’t it count as long as the separatists/rebels have real uniforms which distinguish them from civilians?
The problem with that would be to draw the line between combabts and criminals. Some principles of POWs (such as prohibition of torture of prisoners) still apply to any type of armed conflict; however in many cases of civil wars/internal conflict, a full POW status would effectively remove the power of the state to punish i. e. terrorists for many for their actions.
@@Jan_2000anyone can become a terrorist independent of them being lawful combatants or not so terrorists should have same rights to pow as other soldiers if they also were lawful combatants but if the terrorists harm civilians they should still be punished for that as that is a war crime independent if if you are a pow or not
@@thurbine2411 Consider the consequences of that. POWs obviously can't be punished for killing enemy combattants. If we'd grant this privilege to every armed terrorist group, it would be essentially a free pass for every legal procecution as long as said group only targets police officers (they'd be combatants by that logic too) and soldiers.
It is easy to distinguish if 2 organized armed forces fight each other. But the moment you grant these privileges to groups that are illegal by national law already, you will have serious issues to draw a line.
Again, groups in a national conflict do have certain protection from IHL. But granting them them full legal status of an enemy solider creates essentially a loophole, and is not what the GC was intendet for.
Theoretical issues aside, no state in the world would seriously compromise their ability to punish domestic terrorists by their national law.
There are countries that do not follow the Geneva Convention.
0:55 Ukraine should work on that. Russia too, but it's even more complex due to private military units taking prisoners, and individuals in the Russian forces not understanding well the difference between international legion and mercenary.
Prisoners who have been exposed in Ukrainian camps seems to have given their consent for that. Is there an official procedure or conditions for such exposure ?
But still more and more videos are popping out where a Ukrainian soldier executes a Russian soldier who was laying on the ground, unarmed and with hands over his head trying to surrender, sure, rusians have a lot of war crimers too, but they didn’t have the opportunity to film that
That’s exactly why I watched this video
@@iloveddlc2007 "More and more" ? Could you list them, please ?
Maybe you could list at least one ?
The only video I've seen so far related to such claim show several members of the Russian forces (not even sure of their nationality) surrendering one by one in calm when one individual suddenly pops out a building and open fire in direction of the camera. The camera then goes down and the subsequent action take place off camera.
This case is on battlefield, not in prisoner camp, so it doesn't clearly relate with what I was talking about. It may help if you could clarify this relation between what you have and what I was talking about, showing you have actually read and somehow understood what I wrote above.
If Ukrainian defenders was killed while leaving AzovStal - ICRC also did not guarantee anything?
That was true
Courage
These guys need to see ARMA 3
Abu Ghareeb prison Iraq, Guantanamo Bay and Salt Pit in Afghanistan saw humane treatment of POWs by USA!
No they didn't. Bush was a war criminal.
If a person Is caught killing POW's can you kill them ? I know I know a lot of international laws can be enforced by anyone who wants to like sea shepherd conservation dose to illegal fishing groups
The war and earthquake is horrible scary news Mosi Mohsen
I want a chance
Has Russia signed the third Geneva convention?
Has Ukraine signed it, after all, they were brutally executing Russian POW’s?
Yes, Russia did. Not all protocols were signed/ratified (same way US and Ukraine for example also didn't sign specific ones), but definitively those that contained the core principles of IHL (such as how to treat POW)
@@firaol6860 whatching RT? u d better check what russians r doing to Ukrainians POWs and civilians
Russian POW is questioned and forced to make a phone call to his relatives... His personality and personality of his family members are exposed: ruclips.net/video/KhrH7aT2VFI/видео.html
what's her onlyfans?
The international committee of the red cross must revoke the recognition of the Russian branch. They violated the principle of neutrality of the Red Cross movement
The International Committee of the Red Cross is an EPIC FAILURE! Where are the Hostages taken from Israel taken Oct 7th?
Why are you not screaming for their release? Have you checked on them? Do the babies have what they need? Do elderly have medication? Are the hostages being fed properly? Has one person came forward in Gaza saying the HOSTAGES are being held at this location? NO, Since you haven't done your job since Oct 7th 2023 SHUT UP about humanitarian aid. How about Humanitarian Aid for the hostages from Israel!
why can't we enslave EPWs?
Yea ok
cough cough ukraine
& russia
@@avus-kw2f213 yiss, slava Ukraine
Cough cough everyone
@@PeterKnagge no one recently has thrown away the Geneva convention like how the russians have; don't minimize russian atrocities
@@brendenhickman4198 according to your very limited information. I'm not claiming to know it all or excusing the Russian invasion however maybe widen your sources and look at a few different history books not just listen to what the "Dr Strangelove" Western and NATO Orwellian "MiniTruth" media is telling you... (Cough cough small example Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, the list goes on and on...)
Very unfortunately there's plenty of torture going around this miserable planet, including both sides of the Ukraine war. Ukraine has a long dark reputation of being corrupt and merciless too. (Cough cough small example Trump Ukraine crisis, the list goes on and on...)
We wouldn't be in this situation if NATO hadn't broken their agreement not to expand their territory first and allowed Russia to join NATO...
Over the decades even way back before the Berlin Wall fell Russia has capitulated many times but NATO never has.☢️💀💀💀💀☢️
Around the world we all stir the pot and behave badly and then wonder why the world is such a mess.
The global military industrial complex is a vicious cycle of misery and debt.
Why in the world can't we keep our mouths shut and our hands to ourselves?☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️

Amid Mamedov "stateless person" asks Georgian authorities for help

Amid Mamedov "stateless person" asks Georgian authorities for help
37-year-old Amid Mamedov stops passers-by on the streets of Tbilisi, asks them to record videos and distribute his story on the Internet.
He says that he has to turn to the public for help because he and his mother were left without a livelihood. They have nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat, no clothes and no medicine for their mother.
Amid Mamedov is a Baku Iranian. He says that in Baku he had many problems due to his ethnic origin.
Amid does not have citizenship, unlike his mother, who is a citizen of Azerbaijan. He lives in Tbilisi with his mother, rents a daily apartment and every day risks being on the street.
Amid Mamedov told how he ended up in Georgia, what he asks the government and the public about, and what was his life in Baku.The story of Amid Mamedov
We are Baku Iranians. All routes are closed for us in Baku. When it is very difficult to live in your hometown, you have to leave there. Many Baku Iranians, like us, are leaving Azerbaijan.
Mother and grandmother had an apartment in Baku. Grandma died. We wanted to sell the apartment and buy another, smaller one. We were deceived, told to give us $3,000 first, re-issue, we will pay the rest in the near future, but did not pay. So we lost the apartment and were left without a roof over our heads.
I worked as a painter at a foreign factory in Baku for 4 years. He painted large containers. He worked as a gardener, washed the windows of large shops.
I'm a stateless person. I was born in Uzbekistan, my mother lived there when she gave birth to me, then we returned to Baku. I only have my ID and birth certificate.
For 18 years I have been writing to the government of Uzbekistan, sending copies of documents for citizenship, but in vain. In Baku, it is difficult for a stateless person to find work.When we were left without an apartment in Azerbaijan, we sometimes had to spend the night in the park. The police decided that we were Qigans when they found out that we were Iranian Baku, the police said go to Iran, because Armenia is friends with Iran.
When I said that they had no right to say so and that my mother was an Azerbaijani citizen, they said that we were shaming the country and the city.
In Azerbaijan, we were interviewed on radio and television, they wrote about us in newspapers, but the authorities did not react. Only ordinary people helped us with rent for 2 months, medicines, food and clothes.
In Azerbaijan, the mother does not yet have a pension, she is 58 years old, there women are awarded a pension from 65 years old. When we submitted documents to state institutions, we were told that we are Armenians, because our historical homeland Iran is friends with Armenia.
Many times we turned to Azerbaijani deputies for help through television, but their answer was - go to Iran and ask for housing and work there.
In Baku, we stayed at the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights Elmira Suleymanova for five days, no one listened to us.I didn't even graduate. As a child, my mother transferred me from the hospital to the hospital due to health problems. Because of my Iranian background, I experienced a lot of humiliation as a child.
Father died, mother has health problems, she needs surgery. We came to Georgia three years ago with the hope of finding work.
I washed the windows in large stores and made money with this, offered me another job, a loader, but I could not master it. I'm weak because sometimes I have nothing to eat, my bones hurt.
The money that I earned went to pay for daily accommodation, there was no money left for food. Sometimes tourists, sometimes Georgian Azerbaijanis, sometimes clergy helped us with food, clothes, medicines.
We cannot reach anyone, all the doors are closed for us, this is hellish suffering.
My mother and I freeze at night, my mother in a thin dress, her lungs constantly hurt, she has high pressure every day, maybe someone will help us with drugs, clothes and food.
I ask the Georgian authorities to give me the opportunity to work, so that I can somehow exist. Maybe there is some kind of work and temporary housing for me.We have acquaintances in Istanbul, and they told us that it's not difficult to find work there, I could treat my mother there, but the borders are closed. Even if the border opens, my mother will be able to go there without a visa, but as a stateless person, I need to pay $50 for a visa, for us this is an unrealistic amount.
Kaladze (mayor of Tbilisi) in the days of the celebration of the New Year, somehow walked the streets and we told him about his situation. He told us to go to City Hall, and they'll try to help us. I wrote an appeal, but did not receive an answer.
Now we live in a house where you have to pay for a room every day. If we can't pay, we'll have to go out again.
