  Any neutral Power or any organization invited by the Power concerned or offering itself for these
  purposes, shall be required to act with a sense of responsibility towards the Party to the conflict
  on which persons protected by the present Convention depend, and shall be required to furnish
  sufficient assurances that it is in a position to undertake the appropriate functions and to
  discharge them impartially.
  No derogation from the preceding provisions shall be made by special agreements between
  Powers one of which is restricted, even temporarily, in its freedom to negotiate with the other
  Power or its allies by reason of military events, more particularly where the whole, or a
  substantial part, of the territory of the said Power is occupied.
  Whenever in the present Convention mention is made of a Protecting Power, such mention
  applies to substitute organizations in the sense of the present Article.
  ARTICLE 11
  In cases where they deem it advisable in the interest of protected persons, particularly in cases of
  disagreement between the Parties to the conflict as to the application or interpretation of the
  provisions of the present Convention, the Protecting Powers shall lend their good offices with a
  view to settling the disagreement.
  For this purpose, each propose to the Parties of the Protecting Powers may, either at the
  invitation of one Party or on its own initiative, to the conflict a meeting of their representatives,
  and in particular of the authorities responsible for prisoners of war, possibly on neutral territory
  suitably chosen. The Parties to the conflict shall be bound to give effect to the proposals made to
  them for this purpose. The Protecting Powers may, if necessary, propose for approval by the
  Parties to the conflict a person belonging to a neutral Power, or delegated by the International
  Committee of the Red Cross, who shall be invited to take part in such a meeting.
  PART II GENERAL PROTECTION OF PRISONERS OF WAR
  ARTICLE 12
  Prisoners of war are in the hands of the enemy Power, but not of the individuals or military units
  who have captured them. Irrespective of the individual responsibilities that may exist, the
  Detaining Power is responsible for the treatment given them.
  Prisoners of war may only be transferred by the Detaining Power to a Power which is a party to
  the Convention and after the Detaining Power has satisfied itself of the willingness and ability of
  such transferee Power to apply the Convention. When prisoners of war are transferred under
  such circumstances, responsibility for the application of the Convention rests on the Power
  accepting them while they are in its custody.
  Nevertheless if that Power fails to carry out the provisions of the Convention in any important
  respect, the Power by whom the prisoners of war were transferred shall, upon being notified by
  the PROTECTING Power, take effective measures to correct the situation or shall request the
  return of the prisoners of war. Such requests must be complied with.
