ICRC 2025 Commentary on Article 32 of the Fourth Geneva Convention: Prohibition of Torture and Other Measures of Brutality
Updated ICRC commentary on the prohibition of measures causing physical suffering or extermination of protected persons under Article 32 IV of the Geneva Convention. Covers torture, corporal punishment, mutilation, and medical or scientific experimentation that is not medically induced. An explanatory comment is not an independent criminal law norm.
Editorial note
Practical Guidance
Check the protected status of the person, the nature of the intervention, the medical justification and the specific prohibition. Do not automatically criminalize a contractual breach without examining its contextual and subjective elements.
