## INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW

When you find yourself stranded in the wilderness, it is important to know what rules apply for you. You always have rights.
Below you will find a part of the Geneva Conventions. Every right of every person is described in these documents.
There is also a part for shipwrecked people. See if you can translate it and find out what is means.
