    Apparently not.... You CERTAINLY didn't read to the end of Article 49, because the last sentence says: Art 49: "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. " a: "For, under Article 2, the Convention applies 'to cases of' occupation of the territory of a High Contracting Party, by another such Party" Go and read Article 2 for yourself and you'll see that your quote is preceded by the magic words *shall* *also* Which means that there was something **BEFORE** your quote that can render your argument invalid. Perhaps you would be wise to read up on what that is....
