  ARTICLE 105
  The prisoner of war shall be entitled to assistance by one of his prisoner comrades, to defense by
  a qualified advocate or counsel of his own choice, to the calling of witnesses and, if he deems
  necessary, to the services of a competent interpreter. He shall be advised of these rights by the
  Detaining Power in due time before the trial.
  Failing a choice by the prisoner of war, the Protecting Power shall find him an advocate or
  counsel, and shall have at least one week at its disposal for the purpose. The Detaining Power
  shall deliver to the said Power, on request, a list of persons qualified to present the defense.
  Failing a choice of an advocate or counsel by the prisoner of war or the Protecting Power, the
  Detaining Power shall appoint a competent advocate or counsel to conduct the defense.
  The advocate or counsel conducting the defense on behalf of the prisoner of war shall have at his
  disposal a period of two weeks at least before the opening of the trial, as well as the necessary
  facilities to prepare the defense of the accused. He may, in particular, freely visit the accused and
  interview him in private. He may also confer with any witnesses for the defense, including
  prisoners of war. He shall have the benefit of these facilities until the term of appeal or petition
  has expired.
  Particulars of the charge or charges on which the prisoner of war is to be arraigned, as well as
  the documents which are generally communicated to the accused by virtue of the laws in force in
  the armed forces of the Detaining Power, shall be communicated to the accused prisoner of war
  in a language which he understands, and in good time before the opening of the trial. The same
  communication in the same circumstances shall be made to the advocate or counsel conducting
  the defense on behalf of the prisoner of war.
  The representatives of the Protecting Power shall be entitled to attend the trial of the case,
  unless, exceptionally, this is held in camera in the interest of State security. In such a case the
  Detaining Power shall advise the Protecting Power accordingly.
