  CHAPTER III PENAL AND DISCIPLINARY SANCTIONS
  I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
  ARTICLE 82
  A prisoner of war shall be subject to the laws, regulations and orders in force in the armed forces
  of the Detaining Power; the Detaining Power shall be justified in taking judicial or disciplinary
  measures in respect of any offence committed by a prisoner of war against such laws, regulations
  or orders. However, no proceedings or punishments contrary to the provisions of this Chapter
  shall be allowed.
  If any law, regulation or order of the Detaining Power shall declare acts committed by a prisoner
  of war to be punishable, whereas the same acts would not be punishable if committed by a
  member of the forces of the Detaining Power, such acts shall entail disciplinary punishments
  only.
  ARTICLE 83
  In deciding whether proceedings in respect of an offence alleged to have been committed by a
  prisoner of war shall be judicial or disciplinary, the Detaining Power shall ensure that the
  competent authorities exercise the greatest leniency and adopt, wherever possible, disciplinary
  rather than judicial measures.
  ARTICLE 84
  A prisoner of war shall be tried only by a military court, unless the existing laws of the Detaining
  Power expressly permit the civil courts to try a member of the armed forces of the Detaining
  Power in respect of the particular offence alleged to have been committed by the prisoner of war.
  In no circumstances whatever shall a prisoner of war be tried by a court of any kind which does
  not offer the essential guarantees of independence and impartiality as generally recognized, and,
  in particular, the procedure of which does not afford the accused the rights and means of defense
  provided for in Article 105.
  ARTICLE 85
  Prisoners of war prosecuted under the laws of the Detaining Power for acts committed prior to
  capture shall retain, even if convicted, the benefits of the present Convention.
  ARTICLE 86
  No prisoner of war may be punished more than once for the same act, or on the same charge.
  ARTICLE 87
  Prisoners of war may not be sentenced by the military authorities and courts of the Detaining
  Power to any penalties except those provided for in respect of members of the armed forces of the
  said Power who have committed the same acts.
