Article 25

Des Prises

Prize Law

Il est expressément défendu à tous chefs, matelots, soldats, de couler à fond les bâtimens capturés; de débarquer les prisonniers dans des îles désertes ou côtes éloignées pour celer la prise, sous peine de se voir exposés à perdre la vie.

Life lesson: Sinking prizes or marooning prisoners on desert islands is punishable by death.
Notes: Capital prohibitions: (1) sinking captured vessels, (2) marooning prisoners on deserted islands/remote coasts to conceal capture. Penalty: death. Humanitarian + evidentiary protections.
