           (r) Any malignant growth.
           (s) Serious  chronic  infectious diseases,  persisting for
       one year after their  inception,  for  example:  malaria  with
       decided  organic  impairment,  amoebic  or bacillary dysentery
       with grave disorders;  tertiary visceral syphilis resistant to
       treatment; leprosy; etc.
           (t) Serious avitaminosis or serious inanition.
       --------------------------------
       <*> The decision of the  Mixed  Medical  Commission  shall  be
   based to a great extent on the records kept by camp physicians and
   surgeons of the same nationality as the prisoners of war, or on an
   examination by medical specialists of the Detaining Power.

       B. Accommodation in neutral countries
       The following shall be eligible for accommodation in a neutral
   country:
       1. All wounded prisoners of war who are not likely to  recover
   in  captivity,  but who might be cured or whose condition might be
   considerably improved by accommodation in a neutral country.
       2. Prisoners  of  war suffering from any form of tuberculosis,
   of whatever organ,  and whose treatment in a neutral country would
   be  likely  to  lead  to  recovery  or  at  least  to considerable
   improvement,  with the exception  of  primary  tuberculosis  cured
   before captivity.
       3. Prisoners  of  war  suffering  from  affections   requiring
   treatment  of the respiratory,  circulatory,  digestive,  nervous,
   sensory,  genito-urinary,  cutaneous,  locomotive organs, etc., if
   such  treatment  would  clearly  have  better results in a neutral
   country than in captivity.
       4. Prisoners  of  war  who  have  undergone  a  nephrectomy in
   captivity  for  a  nontubercular   renal   affection;   cases   of
   osteomyelitis, on the way to recovery or latent; diabetes mellitus
   not requiring insulin treatment; etc.
       5. Prisoners  of war suffering from war or captivity neuroses.
   Cases of captivity neurosis which are not cured after three months
   of accommodation in a neutral country,  or which after that length
   of time are not clearly on the way  to  complete  cure,  shall  be
   repatriated.
       6. All prisoners of war suffering  from  chronic  intoxication
   (gases,  metals,  alkaloids, etc.), for whom the prospects of cure
   in a neutral country are especially favourable.
       7. All women prisoners of war who are pregnant or mothers with
   infants and small children.
       The following cases shall not be eligible for accommodation in
   a neutral country:
       1. All duly verified chronic psychoses.
       2. All organic or functional nervous affections considered  to
   be incurable.
       3. All contagious diseases during the period in which they are
   transmissible, with the exception of tuberculosis.

                        II. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS

       1. The   conditions   given   shall,  in  a  general  way,  be
   interpreted and applied in as broad a spirit as possible.
       Neuropathic and  psychopathic  conditions  caused  by  war  or
   captivity,  as well as cases of tuberculosis in all stages,  shall
   above all benefit by such liberal interpretation. Prisoners of war
   who have sustained several wounds,  none of which,  considered  by
   itself,  justifies  repatriation,  shall  be  examined in the same
   spirit,  with due regard for the psychic  traumatism  due  to  the
   number of their wounds.
       2. All   unquestionable  cases  giving  the  right  to  direct
   repatriation  (amputation,  total  blindness  or  deafness,   open
   pulmonary tuberculosis,  mental disorder,  malignant growth, etc.)
   shall be examined and repatriated as soon as possible by the  camp
   physicians  or  by  military  medical commissions appointed by the
   Detaining Power.
       3. Injuries  and  diseases  which  existed  before the war and
   which have not become worse,  as well as war injuries  which  have
   not  prevented  subsequent military service,  shall not entitle to
   direct repatriation.
       4. The  provisions  of  this  Annex  shall  be interpreted and
   applied in  a  similar  manner  in  all  countries  party  to  the
   conflict.  The  Powers  and  authorities  concerned shall grant to
   Mixed Medical Commissions all the  facilities  necessary  for  the
   accomplishment of their task.
       5. The examples quoted under (1) above represent only  typical
   cases.  Cases  which do not correspond exactly to these provisions
   shall be judged in the spirit of the provisions of Article 110  of
   the  present  Convention,  and  of  the principles embodied in the
   present Agreement.






                                                             Annex II

                              REGULATIONS
                  CONCERNING MIXED MEDICAL COMMISSIONS

                           (see Article 112)

                               Article 1

       The Mixed  Medical  Commissions provided for in Article 112 of
   the Convention shall be composed of three  members,  two  of  whom
   shall  belong  to a neutral country,  the third being appointed by
   the Detaining Power.  One of the neutral members  shall  take  the
   chair.

                               Article 2

       The two   neutral   members   shall   be   appointed   by  the
   International Committee of the Red Cross, acting in agreement with
   the Protecting Power,  at the request of the Detaining Power. They
   may be domiciled either in their country of origin,  in any  other
   neutral country, or in the territory of the Detaining Power.

                               Article 3

       The neutral  members  shall  be approved by the Parties to the
   conflict  concerned,  who  shall  notify  their  approval  to  the
   International  Committee  of  the  Red Cross and to the Protecting
   Power.  Upon such  notification,  the  neutral  members  shall  be
   considered as effectively appointed.

                               Article 4

       Deputy members shall also be appointed in sufficient number to
   replace the regular  members  in  case  of  need.  They  shall  be
   appointed at the same time as the regular members or, at least, as
   soon as possible.

                               Article 5

       If for any reason the International Committee of the Red Cross
   cannot  arrange  for the appointment of the neutral members,  this
   shall be done  by  the  Power  protecting  the  interests  of  the
   prisoners of war to be examined.

                               Article 6

       So far as possible,  one of the two neutral members shall be a
   surgeon and the other a physician.

                               Article 7

       The neutral members  shall  be  entirely  independent  of  the
   Parties to the conflict,  which shall grant them all facilities in
   the accomplishment of their duties.

                               Article 8

       By agreement  with  the  Detaining  Power,  the  International
   Committee of the Red Cross,  when making the appointments provided
   for in Articles 2 and 4 of the present Regulations,  shall  settle
   the terms of service of the nominees.

                               Article 9

       The Mixed  Medical  Commissions shall begin their work as soon
   as possible after the neutral members have been approved,  and  in
   any  case  within  a  period of three months from the date of such
   approval.

                               Article 10

       The Mixed Medical Commissions shall examine all the  prisoners
   designated  in  Article 113 of the Convention.  They shall propose
   repatriation,  rejection,  or reference to  a  later  examination.
   Their decisions shall be made by a majority vote.

                               Article 11

       The decisions  made  by  the Mixed Medical Commissions in each
   specific case shall be communicated,  during the  month  following
   their visit,  to the Detaining Power, the Protecting Power and the
   International Committee  of  the  Red  Cross.  The  Mixed  Medical
   Commissions shall also inform each prisoner of war examined of the
   decision made,  and shall issue to those  whose  repatriation  has
   been  proposed,  certificates similar to the model appended to the
   present Convention.

                               Article 12

       The Detaining  Power  shall  be  required  to  carry  out  the
   decisions  of the Mixed Medical Commissions within three months of
   the time when it receives due notification of such decisions.

                               Article 13

       If there is no  neutral  physician  in  a  country  where  the
   services of a Mixed Medical Commission seem to be required, and if
   it is for any reason impossible to appoint neutral doctors who are
   resident  in  another  country,  the  Detaining  Power,  acting in
   agreement with the  Protecting  Power,  shall  set  up  a  Medical
   Commission  which  shall  undertake  the  same  duties  as a Mixed
   Medical Commission, subject to the provisions of Articles 1, 2, 3,
   4, 5 and 8 of the present Regulations.

                               Article 14

       Mixed Medical Commissions shall function permanently and shall
   visit each camp at intervals of not more than six months.






                                                            Annex III

                              REGULATIONS
                      CONCERNING COLLECTIVE RELIEF

                            (See Article 73)

                               Article 1

       Prisoners' representatives  shall  be  allowed  to  distribute
   collective relief shipments for which they are responsible, to all
   prisoners of war administered by their camp,  including those  who
   are in hospitals, or in prisons or other penal establishments.

                               Article 2

       The distribution  of  collective  relief  shipments  shall  be
   effected in accordance with the instructions  of  the  donors  and
   with a plan drawn up by the prisoners' representatives.  The issue
   of medical stores  shall,  however,  be  made  for  preference  in
   agreement with the senior medical officers, and the latter may, in
   hospitals and infirmaries,  waive the said  instructions,  if  the
   needs of their patients so demand. Within the limits thus defined,
   the distribution shall always be carried out equitably.

                               Article 3

       The said prisoners' representatives or their assistants  shall
   be  allowed to go to the points of arrival of relief supplies near
   their camps,  so as to enable the  prisoners'  representatives  or
   their  assistants to verify the quality as well as the quantity of
   the goods received,  and to make out detailed reports thereon  for
   the donors.

                               Article 4

       Prisoners' representatives   shall  be  given  the  facilities
   necessary for verifying whether  the  distribution  of  collective
   relief in all sub-divisions and annexes of their  camps  has  been
   carried out in accordance with their instructions.

                               Article 5

       Prisoners' representatives shall be allowed to  fill  up,  and
   cause  to be filled up by the prisoners' representatives of labour
   detachments or by the senior medical officers of  infirmaries  and
   hospitals,  forms  or  questionnaires  intended  for  the  donors,
   relating   to   collective    relief    supplies    (distribution,
   requirements,  quantities,  etc.).  Such forms and questionnaires,
   duly completed, shall be forwarded to the donors without delay.

                               Article 6

       In order to secure the regular issue of collective  relief  to
   the prisoners of war in their camp, and to meet any needs that may
   arise from the arrival of new contingents of prisoners, prisoners'
   representatives shall be allowed to build up and maintain adequate
   reserve stocks of collective relief.  For this purpose, they shall
   have  suitable warehouses at their disposal;  each warehouse shall
   be provided with two locks,  the prisoners' representative holding
   the keys of one lock and the camp commander the keys of the other.

                               Article 7

       When collective  consignments of clothing are available,  each
   prisoner of war shall  retain  in  his  possession  at  least  one
   complete  set  of clothes.  If a prisoner has more than one set of
   clothes,  the prisoners'  representative  shall  be  permitted  to
   withdraw  excess  clothing  from  those with the largest number of
   sets,  or particular  articles  in  excess  of  one,  if  this  is
   necessary in order to supply prisoners who are less well provided.
   He shall not,  however,  withdraw second  sets  of  underclothing,
   socks or footwear,  unless this is the only means of providing for
   prisoners of war with none.

                               Article 8

       The High Contracting Parties,  and  the  Detaining  Powers  in
   particular, shall authorize, as far as possible and subject to the
   regulations governing the supply of the population,  all purchases
   of  goods  made  in  their  territories  for  the  distribution of
   collective relief  to  prisoners  of  war.  They  shall  similarly
   facilitate the transfer of funds and other financial measures of a
   technical or administrative nature taken for the purpose of making
   such purchases.

                               Article 9

       The foregoing  provisions  shall not constitute an obstacle to
   the right of prisoners of war to receive collective relief  before
   their  arrival in a camp or in the course of transfer,  nor to the
   possibility  of  representatives  of  the  Protecting  Power,  the
   International Committee of the Red Cross, or any other body giving
   assistance  to  prisoners  which  may  be  responsible   for   the
   forwarding of such supplies,  ensuring the distribution thereof to
   the addressees by any other means that they may deem useful.

       On signing   the  Convention  relative  to  the  Treatment  of
   Prisoners of War,  the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist
   Republics makes the following reservations:
       Article 10:  "The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will not
   recognize  the  validity  of  requests by the Detaining Power to a
   neutral State or to a humanitarian organization,  to undertake the
   functions  performed by a Protecting Power,  unless the consent of
   the Government of the country of which the prisoners  of  war  are
   nationals has been obtained."
       Article 12:  "The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics does not
   consider  as  valid  the  freeing of a Detaining Power,  which has
   transferred prisoners of war to another Power, from responsibility
   for  the  application  of  the Convention to such prisoners of war
   while the latter are in the custody of the Power accepting them."
       Article 85:  "The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics does not
   consider itself  bound  by  the  obligation,  which  follows  from
   Article  85,  to  extend  the  application  of  the  Convention to
   prisoners of war who have been convicted  under  the  law  of  the
   Detaining   Power,  in  accordance  with  the  principles  of  the
   Nuremberg trial,  for war crimes and crimes against  humanity,  it
   being  understood  that  persons  convicted of such crimes must be
   subject to the conditions obtaining in the country in question for
   those who undergo their punishment."
