An investigation by the military of the death of its own prisoners violates the Geneva Conventions, which demand that illness, transfer, and death of prisoners be registered independently with a neutral authority (such as the ICRC), and that deaths be investigated independently. If governments let no outside entity investigate the circumstances of such deaths, what will keep them from “disappearing” whomever they take into custody, for whatever reason?
由军方自己对其内部囚犯来展开死亡调查的行为，显然违背了《日内瓦公约》的要求：囚犯的病患、移交和死亡都要由某个中立的职权机构进行登记（例如国际红十字会）,而对死亡案例也需进行独立调查。如果连政府都禁止其他第三方机构介入调查这类死亡案例的话，那又有什么能制止政府用任何理由去“消灭”任何被关押的人呢？
