Gitmo bay and the Geneva Convention:

[CM]

Re: Gitmo bay and the Geneva Convention:

Sadly class is not over. Article 4 sub paragraph 1 governs the entire geneva convention and applies to all parties of an armed conflict.

What you have linked is not the geneva convention. This is article 47 of the geneva convention:

Article 47

Sick or wounded prisoners of war shall not be transferred as long as their recovery may be endangered by the journey, unless their safety imperatively demands it.

If the combat zone draws closer to a camp, the prisoners of war in the said camp shall not be transferred unless their transfer can be carried out in adequate conditions of safety, or if they are exposed to greater risks by remaining on the spot than by being transferred.

There is no mention of Mercenaries in the geneva convention. What you quote is not the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War.

You quoted the wrong convention
