Humane treatment of captured personnel is the key idea. The third principle enshrines that prisoners of war must not be harmed or subjected to torture; killing or torturing them is strictly forbidden. The aim is to protect their humanity regardless of their status, ensuring basic needs are met and they are treated with dignity. Actions like treating prisoners well align with this standard, while prisoner exchanges or releases after capture can occur under other rules or agreements and are not the prohibited act described by this principle.
