The World Assembly,
Seeking to end the withholding of the death details of prisoners of war (POWs), and to establish a means of mediating prisoner exchanges,
Hereby;
- Defines prisoner of war (herein POW) as a combatant member of a military organization (who has not violated international law) that is detained because of their status as such, and defines POW exchange as multiple military organizations releasing living POWs to the organization for which they served,
- Requires that military organizations holding POWs record (by name, if possible) the details of the deaths of any POWs they hold, and release these details to the military organization for which the POW served as soon as it is safe to do so,
- Prohibits member nations from engaging in armed conflict during a World Assembly sanctioned POW exchange,
- Establishes the Convention of POW Exchanges (CPE) and tasks it with the following:
- Mediating POW exchanges between member nations at the unanimous request of all involved nations,
- Finding neutral territory to carry out individual POW exchanges and,
- Ensuring that any and all terms agreed upon between the nations involved in the exchange are upheld.
