The right of the crews of hospital ships to carry arms and use them, if necessary, for the maintenance of order, for their own defence or that of the sick and wounded is well-established. It has been recognized since 1907, and it has been reaffirmed by Article 35(1) Geneva Convention II (1949). According to Article 35(3) the same holds true for portable arms and ammunition taken from the wounded, sick and shipwrecked and not yet handed to the proper service . At the same time, the equipment of hospital ships with heavy arms, i.e. in excess of those permitted by Article 35(1) and (2), has been generally considered as depriving them of their special protection under international humanitarian law.
