Summary
Article 38 formulates duties for the Detaining Power and entitlementsfor prisoners of war that aim to foster their physical and mentalwell-being. Captivity may take a great toll not only on the physicalhealth of prisoners of war but also on their morale and mental health,especially in the case of prolonged internment. It is thereforeessential that prisoners of war have time for and access to thepurposeful activities set out in this provision.
