•
I re-read the entire Geneva III convention last night laoking for any notice provisions and found language that: should
the Detaining Power decide to institute judicial proceedings (Criminal presecution), -the EPW .is entitled to counsel of
his choice, the calling of witnesses, an interpreter and: "He shall be advised of these rights by.the Detaining Power in
due time before the trial." • The counsel conducting the defense "shall have at his disposal a period of two weeks at.
least before the opening of the trial, as well as the necessarylacilities to prepare the defence of the accused." • •
