Examining the Situation of Iranian Prisoners of War (Iraq vs. Iran) in Iraq from a Moral Perspective

The Four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Additional Protocols of 1977 are the basis for assessing the behavior of states with prisoners of war in international interactions. The third convention of this series is dedicated to prisoners of war. This article examines how and when Iranian soldiers were taken prisoner, tortured prisoners of war, provided with health care, and selected Iraqi guards and caretakers of Iranian concentration camps during the imposed war.

Four topics were selected: "Civilian Captivity", "Prisoners' Health Status", "Prisoner Torture", "How to Choose Camp Soldiers" on the Treatment of Iranian Prisoners in the Imposed War, and in Comparison with the Third Geneva Convention of 1949 and Additional protocols were the basis of this study. In the analysis and conclusion by studying the library, Islamic standards regarding the treatment of prisoners of war have also been mentioned.

In all four subjects studied in this study, violations of human rights and international standards have occurred frequently and frequently. The treatment of Iranian prisoners by Iraqi guards and soldiers has nothing to do with human rights and Islamic norms.

The behavior of the Ba'athist regime in Iraq with the Iranian prisoners of war has been inhumane and contrary to human and Islamic standards and international conventions and agreements. Having greatness, not insulting, not harassing and treating prisoners of war are all orders of Islamic morality that in this period of captivity of Iranian warriors have not been observed in any way in their dignity.
