  6-70. For security and other valid reasons, including those relating to its duties and responsibilities as an
  Occupying Power, an Occupying Power may prohibit individuals from changing their residence, restrict
  freedom of movement within the occupied territory, prohibit visits to certain areas, declare certain areas off
  limits, prohibit emigration and immigration by protected persons who are nationals of the State whose
  territory is occupied, and require all individuals carry identification documents.
  Departure of Protected Persons Who Are Not Nationals of the State Whose Territory is
  Occupied
  6-71. Protected persons who are not nationals of the power whose territory is occupied may avail themselves
  of the right to leave the territory, subject to Article 35 of the GC, and decisions thereon must be taken
  according to the procedure that the Occupying Power must establish (GC art. 48). Article 35 of the GC sets
  forth rules regarding the departure of protected persons from the home territory of a belligerent State and
  provides protected persons with a right to depart. But, Article 35 allows a belligerent to prevent such
  departure if such departure is contrary to the belligerent’s national interests, and Article 35 specifies certain
  procedural requirements (see DOD Law of War Manual, 11.12.2). For example, persons permitted to leave
  may provide themselves with the necessary funds for their journey and take with them a reasonable amount
  of their effects and articles of personal use. If a person is refused permission to leave the territory, he or she
  is entitled to have the refusal reconsidered as soon as possible by an appropriate court or administrative board
  designated by the Occupying Power for that purpose (GC arts. 35, 48).
  Prohibition Against Forcible Transfers and Deportations
  6-72. Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied
  territory to the territory of the Occupying Power, or of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited,
  regardless of their motive. The unlawful deportation or transfer of protected persons in violation of this rule
  constitutes a grave breach of the GC. Nevertheless, the Occupying Power may undertake total or partial
  evacuation of a given area if required for the security of the population or for imperative military reasons.
  Such evacuations may not involve the displacement of protected persons outside the bounds of the occupied
  territory, except when, for material reasons, it is impossible to avoid such displacement. The evacuees must
  be transferred back to their homes as soon as hostilities in the area in question have ceased (GC art. 49). This
  provision applies only to protected persons under the GC; for example, POWs may be transferred from
  occupied territory to POW camps in the home territory of a belligerent. Similarly, a person who is not a
  protected person (such as a national of a neutral or a co-belligerent, who travels to an occupied State to fight
  the Occupying Power) would not be covered by this prohibition.
  6-73. The Occupying Power undertaking such transfers or evacuations must ensure, to the greatest extent
  practicable: (1) proper accommodation is provided to receive the protected persons; (2) that the evacuations
  or transfers are effected with satisfactory conditions of hygiene, health, safety and nutrition; and (3) that
  members of the same family are not separated. The Protecting Power must be informed of any transfers and
  evacuations as soon as they have taken place (GC art. 49).
  6-74. The Occupying Power must not detain protected persons in an area particularly exposed to the dangers
  of war unless the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand. Additionally, the
  Occupying Power must not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies
  (GC art. 49).
  CHILDREN
  6-75. In response to the acute deprivations that children suffered during the two World Wars, the GC places
  particular emphasis on their safety and well-being. Although the GC does not set forth a specific age criteria
  for the term “children,” for the purposes of article 50 of the GC and its obligations with respect to the
  protection of children in occupied territory may be understood generally to refer to children under fifteen
  years of age (GC art. 50).
  6-76. The Occupying Power must, with the cooperation of the national and local authorities, facilitate the
  proper working of all institutions devoted to the care and education of children (GC art. 50). This obligation
