Inthe case of prisoners of war who may be made to work under the provisions of the Convention, it is reasonable thatcamp leaders should be given exemption; but is a similar provision necessary in the case of civilians who arecovered by Article 95 stating that they may not be compelled to work? The reply was that Article 95 also contains aclause exempting maintenance work in the camp, which internees may be compelled to do, so that paragraph 1would be justified as referring to this.”).
