The blog post "The 1918 Bern Agreements: repatriating prisoners in a total war" offers an analysis of these agreements that led to a more humane treatment of POWs at a time the legal framework governing POWs was far less developed than it is today.IHL rules protecting persons against sexual violence can be found in The Law chapters on Civilian population, Combatants and POWs and Criminal repression.The article “Strengthening IHL protecting persons deprived of their liberty in relation to armed conflict” presents the key areas identified by the ICRC as in need for further development and the results of consultations conducted on how to adress them.ICRC booklet on children and detention provides further insight on the consequences of detention on children.The previous highlight “Interplay between IHL and Human Rights in Armed Conflict (II): Detention” illustrates how the interaction between these two bodies of law has been approached by several jurisprudence cases, most notably cases of the European Court of Human Rights.For a more general approach to detention, the article “ Current trends and practices in the use of imprisonment” examines contemporary issues of concern in the use of detention, particularly conditions of detention.The first one “National Security and the right to liberty in armed conflict: The legality and limits of security detention in international humanitarian law” examines more generally the legality and limits of security detention in IHL and the second one ““Restoring hope where all hope was lost”: Nelson Mandela, the ICRC and the protection of political detainees in apartheid South Africa” analyzes the specific case of political detainees which are now more commonly known as “security detainees” during the apartheid in South Africa.
