26. 国际人道主义法载有关于移送国际武装冲突中的被拘留者的规定。关于被拘留在本国境内的战俘和被保护人，国际人道主义法规定，只有在移送国履行了确保被拘留者得到充分保护的严格义务的情况下，才可以移送另一国拘留。这包括：在接受国未能提供所需保护的情况下，移送国有义务采取有效措施纠正此种情况，包括有义务要求将被拘留者送还，此项要求必须照办。85 关于被拘留在被占领土的被保护人，国际人道主义法规定，他们只能被拘留在被占领土内，禁75 A/HRC/39/CRP.4，第 29 和第 32-35 段。
26. International humanitarian law contains provisions regulating the transfer of detainees in international armed conflict. With regard to prisoners of war and protected persons detained in the State’s own territory, international humanitarian law permits transfers for detention by another State only when the transferring State has satisfied strict obligations to ensure that detainee protection will be maintained in full. This includes an obligation on the transferring State to take effective measures to correct the situation if the receiving State fails to provide the required protection, including a duty to request the return of the detainees, a request that must be complied with.85 With respect to protected persons detained in an occupied territory, international humanitarian law mandates that they be detained only in the occupied territory and prohibits forcibly transferring them outside the occupied territory. 86 The principle of non-refoulement in international human rights law is equally applicable to such transfers to the authority of another State.
