Surrendered Enemy Personnel (SEP) is a designation for captive enemy soldiers (similar to Disarmed Enemy Forces). It was most commonly used by British forces towards German forces in Europe, and towards Japanese and associated forces in Asia after the end of World War II. On March 1, 1947 the U.S. stated that the SEPs should be regarded as POW's and be treated in accordance with the Geneva conventions.〔Hanrei Taimuzu (The Law Times Report) No. 703, 63. (X1, X2, X3 et al. v. The State of Japan ) (Tokyo District Court, judgment, 1989, Case No. wa-4024, wa-8983 (1981), wa-731 (1982), wa-12166 (1985)). pp. 7,8〕 The designation of SEP allowed the Royal Navy to use the German command structure to facilitate the disbandment of the Kriegsmarine.〔Madsen, Chris. '' The Royal Navy and German Naval Disarmament, 1942-1947'', Routledge, 1998 ISBN 0-7146-4823-X. (p. 90 )〕 In the Malay Emergency the UK also used the definition SEP, alongside Captured Enemy Personnel (CEP). The distinction made was that SEP were insurgents who surrendered to the British,〔Nagl John A. ''Counterinsurgency Lessons from Malaya and Vietnam: Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife'', Greenwood Publishing Group, 2002 ISBN 0-275-97695-5. ( p. 92 )〕 while Captured Enemy Personnel were not. Both designations were treated as Prisoners of War.〔Ingrid Detter Delupis, ''"The Law of War"'' ((google books ) p.328)〕 ==See also== * Disarmed Enemy Forces * Japanese Surrendered Personnel * Prisoner of War * Laws of war 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Surrendered Enemy Personnel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
