  TREATMENT OF INTERNEES
  INTERNMENT GENERALLY
  5-89. During an international armed conflict, parties to a conflict may not intern protected persons in a
  belligerent’s home territory, except in accordance with the provisions of Articles 41-43, 68, and 78 of the
  GC. Humane treatment standards of the GC for protected persons described in paragraphs 5-16 through 5-
  18)also apply to interned protected persons.
  Maintenance of Internees and Their Dependents
  5-90. Parties to the conflict who intern protected persons are bound to provide free of charge for their
  maintenance and to grant them also the medical attention required by their state of health. No deduction from
  the allowances, salaries, or credits due to the internees may be made for the repayment of these costs. The
  detaining power must provide for the support of those dependent on the internees if such dependents are
  without adequate means of support or are unable to earn a living (GC art. 81).
  Grouping of Internees
  5-91. The detaining power must, as far as possible, accommodate the internees according to their nationality,
  language, and customs. Internees who are nationals of the same country are not to be separated merely
  because they speak different languages (GC art. 82). Internees must be accommodated and administered
  separately from POWs and from persons deprived of liberty for any other reason (GC art. 84). Much like
  internment of POWs, the internment of protected persons is a precautionary measure and should not be
  confused with the penalty of imprisonment.
  PROTECTION FOR WOMEN, FAMILIES, AND CHILDREN
  5-92. Throughout the duration of their internment, members of the same family, and in particular parents
  and children, must be lodged together in the same place of internment except when separation of a temporary
  nature is required for reasons of employment or health, or for penal and disciplinary purposes. Internees may
  request that their children who are left at liberty without parental care be interned with them, but one of the
  parents would not be able to request the internment of a child being cared for by a parent who was not being
  interned (GC art. 82). Whenever possible, interned members of the same family must be housed in the same
  premises and given separate accommodations from other internees, together with facilities for leading a
  proper family life (GC art. 82). Moreover, the parties to the conflict must endeavor during the course of
  hostilities to conclude agreements for the release, the repatriation, the return to places of residence, or the
  accommodation in a neutral country of certain classes of internees, in particular children, pregnant women
  and mothers with infants and young children, wounded and sick, and internees who have been detained for a
  long time (GC art. 132).
  Additional Protections
  5-93. If interned, expectant and nursing mothers, and children under 15 years of age must be given additional
  food in proportion to their physiological needs (GC art. 89). The detaining power must encourage intellectual,
  educational, and recreational pursuits among the internees, including child internees. The education of
  children and young people must be ensured; they must be allowed to attend schools either within the place
  of internment or outside. Like all internees, child internees must be given opportunities for physical exercise,
  sports, and outdoor games. For this purpose, sufficient open spaces must be set aside in all places of
  internment. Special playgrounds must be reserved for children and young people (GC art. 94).
  Women Internees
  5-94. Whenever it is necessary, as an exceptional and temporary measure, to accommodate women internees
  who are not members of a family unit in the same place of internment as men, women internees must be
  provided separate sleeping quarters and sanitary conveniences for their use (GC art. 85). Women internees
  accused or convicted of offenses must be confined in separate quarters from men and must be under the
