facilitate
to the
greatest
extent
possible the task of the

. ...
ARTICLE-23

...
Prisoners of war
shall have
shelters
against
air
bombardment and other hazards of
war
, to the same
extent
as the
local
civilian
population
. With the
exception
of those engaged in the
protection
of their quarters against the aforesaid hazards, they may enter such
shelters
as soon as possible after the giving of the alarm. Any other
protective measure
taken in favour of the
population
shall also apply to them. ...
ARTICLE-87
[
go to this ARTICLE
]
... When fixing the
penalty
, the
courts
or
authorities
of the
Detaining Power
shall take into
consideration
, to the widest
extent
possible, the
fact
that the
accused
, not being a
national
of the
Detaining Power
, is not bound to it by any
duty of allegiance
, and that he is in its
power
as the result of
circumstances
independent
of his own will. The said
courts
or
authorities
shall be at
liberty
to reduce the
penalty
provided for the
violation
of which the
prisoner of war
is
accused
, and shall therefore not be bound to apply the
minimum
penalty
prescribed. ...
