Summary
Article 61 is the first treaty provision recognizing the right of the Poweron which prisoners of war depend to make available to them, on anon-discriminatory basis, supplementary pay. Supplementary pay is ofparticular value to the prisoners if the advances of pay as determined byArticle 60(1) are insufficient or if the Detaining Power has made use of itsright to unilaterally reduce such advances pursuant to Article 60(3).
