Art. LVII. The neutral state which receives in its territory troops belonging to the belligerent armies shall intern them whenever possible at a distance from the theatre of war. It may detain them in camps, and may even confine them in fortresses or other places adapted to the purpose. It shall decide whether the officers are to be set free, on giving their paroles not to quit the neutral territory without authority.

Art. LVIII. In the absence of a special agreement, the neutral state shall furnish the interned troops with subsistence and clothing and the relief demanded by humanity. Indemnification shall be made, when peace is declared, for the expenses occasioned by the internment.

Art. LIX. A neutral state may authorize the passage over its territory of the sick and wounded belonging to the belligerent armies, subject to the qualification that the trains which carry them shall convey neither the personnel nor material of war. In such case a neutral state is bound to resort to such measures of security and control as are necessary to accomplish this result.

Sick and wounded brought into neutral territory, under such conditions, by one of the belligerents, and who may belong to the adverse party, shall be held by the neutral state in such a manner that they cannot again take part in the operations of war. The latter shall have the same obligations in respect to the sick and wounded as are provided for in the former case.

Art. LX. The Geneva Convention applies to the sick and wounded interned in neutral territory.
