Title: Rechtsstatus des Kriegsgefangenen Im Bewaffneten Konflikt
Description: Markus Stuke outlines how the protection of prisoners of war developed in a legal-historical context and how current law stands. He points out continuities and discontinuities down the years and presents the legal status of prisoners of war from antiquity up until 1949's Third Geneva Convention which deals with the treatment of such prisoners. The convention's provisions are systemised, closely examined and critically questioned.--Publisher's description.
