  In each case, such persons shall nevertheless be treated with humanity, and in case of trial, shall
  not be deprived of the rights of fair and regular trial prescribed by the present Convention. They
  shall also be granted the full rights and privileges of a protected person under the present
  Convention at the earliest date consistent with the security of the State or Occupying Power, as
  the case may be.
  Article 25
  All persons in the territory of a Party to the conflict, or in a territory occupied by it, shall be
  enabled to give news of a strictly personal nature to members of their families, wherever they
  may be, and to receive news from them. This correspondence shall be forwarded speedily and
  without undue delay.
  If, as a result of circumstances, it becomes difficult or impossible to exchange family
  correspondence by the ordinary post, the Parties to the conflict concerned shall apply to a neutral
  intermediary, such as the Central Agency provided for in Article 140, and shall decide in
  consultation with it how to ensure the fulfillment of their obligations under the best possible
  conditions, in particular with the cooperation of the National Red Cross (Red Crescent, Red Lion
  and Sun) Societies.
  If the Parties to the conflict deem it necessary to restrict family correspondence, such restrictions
  shall be confined to the compulsory use of standard forms containing twenty-five freely chosen
  words, and to the limitation of the number of these forms dispatched to one each month.
  PART III
  STATUS AND TREATMENT OF PROTECTED PERSONS
  SECTION I
  PROVISIONS COMMON TO THE TERRITORIES OF THE PARTIES
  TO THE CONFLICT AND TO OCCUPIED TERRITORIES
  Article 27
  Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honour,
  their family rights, their religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs.
  They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected especially against all acts of
  violence or threats thereof and against insults and public curiosity.
  Women shall be especially protected against any attack on their honour, in particular against
  rape, enforced prostitution, or any form of indecent assault.
  Without prejudice to the provisions relating to their state of health, age and sex, all protected
  persons shall be treated with the same consideration by the Party to the conflict in whose power
  they are, without any adverse distinction based, in particular, on race, religion or political
  opinion.
  However, the Parties to the conflict may take such measures of control and security in regard to
  protected persons as may be necessary as a result of the war.
