Chapter IV. Of Belligerents interned, and of Wounded treated, in Neutral Territory
Art. 53. The neutral State receiving in its territory troops belonging to the belligerent armies, will intern them, so far as it may be possible, away from the theater of war.
They may be kept in camps, or even confined in fortresses, or in places appropriated to this purpose.
It will decide whether the officers may be released on giving their parole not to quit the neutral territory without authority.
Art. 54. In default of a special agreement, the neutral State which receives the belligerent troops will furnish the interned with provisions, clothing, and such aid as humanity demands.
The expenses incurred by the internment will be made good at the conclusion of peace.
Art. 55. The neutral State may authorize the transport across its territory of the wounded and sick belonging to the belligerent armies, provided that the trains which convey them do not carry either the personnel or matériel of war.
In this case the neutral State is bound to take the measures necessary for the safety and control of the operation.
Art. 56. The Convention of Geneva is applicable to the sick and wounded interned on neutral territory.
