Principally, protected persons include persons of enemynationality living in the territory of a belligerent State and the inhabitants of occupiedterritories. 24 Even if persons are not protected persons under the GC, other rules may beapplicable to them. For example, certain baseline rules apply to the treatment of all detainees,including those who are not protected persons or POWs. 2510.3.1 Protected Person – Notes on Terminology. Protected persons is used in the GC asa term to refer to persons who are protected by the GC in connection with international armedconflict or occupation.Protected persons is often understood as a term that is specific to the GC. In a fewplaces, however, the GPW, the GWS, and the GWS-Sea also refer to “protected persons” or“persons protected.” 26 In such cases, “protected persons” and “persons protected” refer topersons protected by that respective convention, as opposed to protected persons for purposes ofthe GC.21 Refer to § 10.11.1.2 (Sharing Information on the Location of Places of Internment); § 10.11.1.3 (Marking ofInternment Camps).22 GC art. 105 (“Immediately upon interning protected persons, the Detaining Powers shall inform them, the Powerto which they owe allegiance and their Protecting Power of the measures taken for executing the provisions of thepresent Chapter.”).23 GC art. 105 (“The Detaining Powers shall likewise inform the Parties concerned of any subsequent modificationsof such measures.”).24 GC COMMENTARY 45 (“When work was begun on the preparation of the texts, it became clear—as early as thetime of the Tokyo Draft—that there were two main classes of civilian to whom protection against arbitrary action onthe part of the enemy was essential in time of war—on the one hand, persons of enemy nationality living in theterritory of a belligerent State, and on the other, the inhabitants of occupied territories. The idea that the Conventionshould cover these two categories was accepted from the first and has never really been disputed. Any discussionswhich have taken place on the subject have been concerned with points of detail which we shall consider later. ThisArticle [4 of the GC] is, in a sense, the key to the Convention; for it defines the people to whom it refers.”).25 Refer to § 8.1.1 (Overview of Detention Rules in This Manual and the Scope of Chapter VIII).26 See, e.g., GPW art. 11 (“In cases where they deem it advisable in the interest of protected persons, particularly incases of disagreement between the Parties to the conflict as to the application or interpretation of the provisions ofthe present Convention, the Protecting Powers shall lend their good offices with a view to settling thedisagreement.”).648
