第 五十三 条 战俘每日劳动时间，包括往返路程之时间，不应过度，绝不得超过拘留国本国普通工人在该区从事同样工作者所许可之时间。

战俘在每日工作之中间，必须给予不少于一小时之休息。若拘留国工人之休息时间较长，则战俘之休息亦应与之相同。每周应另给予连续二十四小时之休息时间，以星期日或其本国所遵行之休息日为宜。此外工作满一年之战俘应给予连续八日之休息，在此期间工资应予照付。

如采用计件工作等类方法时，其工作时间亦不得因而致其过长。

Article 53 - Duration of labour

The duration of the daily labour of prisoners of war, including the time of the journey to and fro, shall not be excessive, and must in no case exceed that permitted for civilian workers in the district, who are nationals of the Detaining Power and employed on the same work.

Prisoners of war must be allowed, in the middle of the day's work, a rest of not less than one hour. This rest will be the same as that to which workers of the Detaining Power are entitled, if the latter is of longer duration. They shall be allowed in addition a rest of twenty-four consecutive hours every week, preferably on Sunday or the day of rest in their country of origin. Furthermore, every prisoner who has worked for one year shall be granted a rest of eight consecutive days, during which his working pay shall be paid him.

If methods of labour such as piece work are employed, the length of the working period shall not be rendered excessive thereby.
