The expectation of reciprocity is an important factor when states consider their legal obligations in armed conflicts. Examining the history of international humanitarian law and US prisoner of war policy in Vietnam and the War on Terror, Peeler demonstrates how states continue to make use of reciprocity when considering their legal obligations.
The expectation of reciprocity continues to be an important factor when states' consider their legal obligations in armed conflicts. In this monograph, Peeler looks at the text and negotiations around the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the Protocols Additional to the Geneva Conventions from 1977 to demonstrate the many places where international humanitarian law maintains expectations of reciprocity. This complements an examination of US policy regarding its Prisoner of War obligations in both the Vietnam War and the Global War on Terror, demonstrating how states make use of the expectation of reciprocity found in international humanitarian law to respond to continued non-compliance by an enemy.
