hadifoglyokként

The term "hadifoglyokként" is a Hungarian word that translates to "as prisoners of war" in English. It refers to the state or condition of individuals who have been captured by an enemy force during an armed conflict. This status carries specific legal implications under international law, primarily governed by the Geneva Conventions.

Prisoners of war are entitled to humane treatment, protection from violence, and respect for their person and honor. They must be provided with adequate food, clothing, and medical care. Detaining powers are obligated to allow neutral organizations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, to visit prisoners and ensure their welfare.

The designation "hadifoglyokként" implies that the captured individuals are subject to the rules and protections afforded to prisoners of war, distinguishing them from other categories of detained persons, such as civilian internees or unlawful combatants. The treatment and eventual repatriation of prisoners of war are key aspects of the law of armed conflict, aimed at mitigating the suffering caused by war. The term highlights a specific legal status with associated rights and responsibilities for both the captured individuals and the detaining power.
