“The persons in question are members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which, in accordance with the provisions of the Geneva Conventions for the Protection of Victims of War of 1949 and their Supplementary Protocols of 1977, are subject to the legal status of “This status, among other things, gives such people the right to be treated as prisoners of war in case they fall into the hands of the enemy,” the statement said.

The General Staff recalls that the Geneva Conventions of 1949 prohibit any illegal activity, including violence, intimidation or inaction against prisoners of war, and mandated humane treatment of prisoners of war.

“Failure to comply with the relevant standards of international humanitarian law is a serious violation of the Convention,” the General Staff said.

In early March, the Ministry of Defense reported that volunteers and veterans from 52 countries around the world had expressed a desire to become members of the International Legion. Their number exceeded 20 thousand people.
