  PART IV TERMINATION OF CAPTIVITY
  SECTION I DIRECT REPATRIATION AND ACCOMMODATION IN
  NEUTRAL COUNTRIES
  ARTICLE 109
  Subject to the provisions of the third paragraph of this Article, Parties to the conflict are bound
  to send back to their own country, regardless of number or rank, seriously wounded and
  seriously sick prisoners of war, after having cared for them until they are fit to travel, in
  accordance with the first paragraph of the following Article.
  Throughout the duration of hostilities, Parties to the conflict shall endeavor, with the
  cooperation of the neutral Powers concerned, to make arrangements for the accommodation in
  neutral countries of the sick and wounded prisoners of war referred to in the second paragraph of
  the following Article. They may, in addition, conclude agreements with a view to the direct
  repatriation or internment in a neutral country of able-bodied prisoners of war who have
  undergone a long period of captivity.
  No sick or injured prisoner of war who is eligible for repatriation under the first paragraph of
  this Article, may be repatriated against his will during hostilities.
  ARTICLE 110
  The following shall be repatriated direct:
  1. Incurably wounded and sick whose mental or physical fitness seems to have been gravely
  diminished.
  2. Wounded and sick who, according to medical opinion, are not likely to recover within one
  year, whose condition requires treatment and whose mental or physical fitness seems to have
  been gravely diminished.
  3. Wounded and sick who have recovered, but whose mental or physical fitness seems to have
  been gravely and permanently diminished.
  The following may be accommodated in a neutral country:
  1. Wounded and sick whose recovery may be expected within one year of the date of the
  wound or the beginning of the illness, if treatment in a neutral country might increase the
  prospects of a more certain and speedy recovery.
  2. Prisoners of war whose mental or physical health, according to medical opinion, is seriously
  threatened by continued captivity, but whose accommodation in a neutral country might
  remove such a threat.
  The conditions which prisoners of war accommodated in a neutral country must fulfil in order to
  permit their repatriation shall be fixed, as shall likewise their status, by agreement between the
  Powers concerned. In general, prisoners of war who have been accommodated in a neutral
  country, and who belong to the following categories, should be repatriated:
