Hi, Im writing a history essay on the treatment of prisoners of war throughout history and decided to use American POWs in Vietnam as a part of my study. The only part I’m having trouble finding is how or if North Vietnam was prosecuted for the torture and maltreatment of its American POWs. I’ve researched for hours and struggled to find anything, I’m assuming they weren’t due to Cold War tensions but need at least one actual source and thought I’d try here. Any help is appreciated
