  OBEDIENCE, SECURITY MEASURES, AND PENAL LEGISLATION
  AND PROCEDURE
  6-171. Subject to the restrictions imposed by international law, the Occupying Power may demand and
  enforce from the inhabitants of occupied territory such obedience as may be necessary for the security of its
  forces, for the maintenance of law and order, and for the proper administration of the country The inhabitant’s
  obedience to the Occupying Power is generally distinguished from a duty of allegiance. The inhabitant’s duty
  of allegiance to his or her State of nationality is not severed. The inhabitants, however, are not bound to obey
  their State of nationality.
  6-172. Neutral persons resident within an occupied territory are not entitled to claim different treatment, in
  general, from that accorded other inhabitants. They must refrain from all participation in the war and from
  all hostile acts, and must observe strictly the rules of the Occupying Power. All nationals of neutral States,
  whether resident in or temporarily visiting an occupied territory, may be punished offenses committed by
  them to the same extent and in the same manner as enemy nationals. In addition, it may be possible to
  extradite nationals of neutral States who have committed offenses to their home States for prosecution. If
  nationals of neutral States are not “protected persons,” they may be deported or expelled for just cause. In
  the event that such a person is arrested, suspicions must be verified by a serious inquiry, and the arrested
  neutral person must be given an opportunity to present a defense, and to communicate with his or her national
  consul, if requested (DOD Law of War Manual, 15.6.4).
  PROHIBITION OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT, TORTURE, AND CERTAIN OTHER ACTS
  6-173. An Occupying Power is strictly prohibited from taking any measure of such a character as to cause
  the physical suffering or death of protected persons in the occupied territory. This prohibition applies not
  only to murder, torture, corporal punishment, mutilation, and medical or scientific experiments not
  necessitated by the medical treatment of a protected person, but also to any other measures of brutality,
  whether applied by civilian or military agents (GC art. 3; consider AP I art. 75).
  NO COLLECTIVE PENALTIES
  6-174. A protected person may not be punished for an offense that he or she has not personally committed.
  Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited (GC art. 33).
  NO REPRISAL
  6-175. Reprisals are measures that are otherwise prohibited taken by one State in response to another State’s
  violations of LOAC in order to encourage future compliance. In occupied territory, reprisals against protected
  persons and their property by an Occupying Power are prohibited (GC art. 33).
  NO PILLAGE
  6-176. Pillage involves the unlawful seizure or appropriation of private or public property. Pillage is strictly
  prohibited under LOAC, including in times of occupation (GC art. 33).
  NO HOSTAGES
  6-177. The taking of hostages for any reason, including that of seeking to intimidate or otherwise pacify the
  population of the occupied territory, is prohibited (GC art. 34).
  SECURITY MEASURES, INCLUDING ASSIGNED RESIDENCE AND INTERNMENT
  6-178. If the Occupying Power considers it necessary, for imperative reasons of security, to take safety
  measures concerning protected persons, it may, at the most, subject them to assigned residence or to
  internment (GC art. 78).
  6-179. Decisions regarding such assigned residence or internment must be made according to a regular
  procedure to be prescribed by the Occupying Power in accordance with the GC. This procedure must include
