The pledge of the parole is always an individual, but not a private act.
122
The parole applies chiefly to prisoners of war whom the captor allows to return to their country, or to live in greater freedom within the captor's country or territory, on conditions stated in the parole.

Release of prisoners of war by exchange is the general rule; release by parole is the exception.
124
Breaking the parole is punished with death when the person breaking the parole is captured again.
Accurate lists, therefore, of the paroled persons must be kept by the belligerents.
