Art. XXXV. Articles of capitulation entered into between the contracting parties are to take into account the rules of military honor. Once decided upon, these capitulations are to be scrupulously observed by both parties.

Art. XXXVI. An armistice suspends the operations of war by mutual agreement of the belligerent parties. If its duration is not fixed, the belligerent parties may resume operations at any time, provided, however, that the enemy is warned, at the time agreed upon, in conformity with the conditions of the armistice.

Art. XXXVII. The armistice may be either general or local. The first suspends the military operations between the belligerent states everywhere; the second suspends such operations only as to certain fractions of the belligerent armies and in a determined radius.

Art. XXXVIII. The armistice should be notified, officially and in due course, to the proper authorities and to the troops. Hostilities are suspended immediately after the notification or at the time agreed upon.

Art. XXXIX. It depends on the contracting parties to fix in the clauses of the armistice the relations which may exist with the population and with each other in the theatre of war.

Art. XL. Every serious violation of the armistice by either party gives to the other the right to disavow the same, and even, in case of urgency, to resume hostilities immediately.

Art. XLI. The violation of the provisions of an armistice by individuals, acting on their own initiative, confers the right only to demand the punishment of the offenders, and, if need be, an indemnity for the damage sustained.
