The
denunciation shall be notified in
writing to the
Swiss Federal Council, which shall transmit it to the
Governments of all the
High Contracting Parties.
The
denunciation shall take
effect one
year after the
notification thereof has been made to the
Swiss Federal Council. However, a
denunciation of which
notification has been made at a
time when the denouncing
Power is involved in a
conflict shall not take
effect until
peace has been concluded, and until after
operations connected with the
release and
repatriation of the
persons protected by the present
Convention have been terminated.
The
denunciation shall have
effect only in
respect of the denouncing
Power. It shall in no way
impair the
obligations which the
Parties to the conflict shall remain bound to fulfil by
virtue of the
principles of the
law of nations, as they result from the usages
established among
civilized peoples, from the
laws of humanity and the dictates of the
public conscience.
