Summary
Article 96 is the second of two articles in the Third Conventionthat regulate the procedure for disciplinary punishments. WhileArticle 95 deals with confinement of prisoners of war who areawaiting a hearing, Article 96 sets out the procedural requirements,including provisions on the competent disciplinary authorities andthe minimum rights of the accused in case of disciplinarypunishment. Article 96 thus establishes procedural safeguards thatensure a minimum standard of due process.
