Date: 2006-09-20 04:38 am (UTC)The ICRC is the organization created under the Geneva Conventions for the purpose of monitoring compliance of warring parties with the Geneva Conventions. So as far as Geneva Conventions compliance is concerned, yes, they are the police.
If you belong to a non-state organization you are not covered by them at all.
Wrong yet again! Article 4 of the Third Geneva Convention extends POW protection to (4.1.3) “Members of regular armed forces who profess allegiance to a government or an authority not recognized by the Detaining Power” as well as (4.1.4) “Persons who accompany the armed forces without actually being members thereof” and (4.1.6) “Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units”.
