      Occupation, in the context of international law, refers to the situation where one state exercises effective control over the territory of another state, either through military conquest, intervention, or administration. Occupied territories are subject to the rules and regulations of the occupying power, which has certain obligations and responsibilities towards the civilian population under its control. The concept of occupation is primarily governed by the rules set forth in the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and customary international law.

      During occupation, the status of people deprived of their liberty, including civilians, detainees, and prisoners of war, is governed by specific legal norms and protections:

      1. Civilians: Civilians living in occupied territories retain their human rights and fundamental freedoms under international law, including the right to life, liberty, and security of person. The occupying power is obligated to respect and protect the rights of civilians, ensuring their safety, welfare, and access to essential services such as food, water, and medical care. Civilians cannot be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention, or deportation and are entitled to due process and fair treatment under the law.

      2. Detainees: Individuals detained by the occupying power, whether for security reasons, law enforcement purposes, or administrative measures, are entitled to humane treatment and procedural safeguards in accordance with international law. Detainees must be informed of the reasons for their detention, promptly brought before a competent authority, and provided with access to legal counsel and family members. They cannot be subjected to torture, cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment, and must be held in conditions that meet minimum standards of hygiene and dignity.

      3. Prisoners of War (POWs): POWs captured during armed conflict and held in occupied territories are entitled to the protections afforded by the Third Geneva Convention of 1949. They must be treated humanely and granted the rights and privileges stipulated in the Convention, including access to medical care, food, and shelter, as well as respect for their personal dignity and religious beliefs. POWs cannot be subjected to coercion, intimidation, or reprisals and must be repatriated at the end of hostilities.

      After occupation, the status of individuals deprived of their liberty may undergo changes depending on the circumstances:

      1. Transition to Sovereignty: Upon the restoration of sovereignty over the occupied territory, the legal status of detainees and prisoners may be reevaluated in light of the new governing authority's legal framework and policies. Detainees may be released, transferred to national custody, or prosecuted for offenses under domestic law, while POWs may be repatriated or undergo a process of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration.

      2. Accountability and Justice: Individuals responsible for human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, torture, or other abuses committed during the occupation, may be held accountable for their actions under national or international law. Transitional justice mechanisms, such as truth commissions, tribunals, or reparations programs, may be established to address past abuses, promote reconciliation, and ensure accountability for perpetrators.

      Overall, the status of people deprived of their liberty during and after occupation is governed by principles of international humanitarian law, human rights law, and transitional justice, which aim to protect their rights, ensure their humane treatment, and promote accountability for violations committed during periods of conflict and occupation.
