The Detaining Power may utilize the labour of prisoners of war who are physically fit, taking into account their age, sex, rank and physical aptitude, and with a view particularly to maintaining them in a good state of physical and mental health.
Doesn't say "compel"; says "utilize". Even hired hands are "utilized". And the latter bit about "maintaining them in a good state of physical and mental health" still stands.

Are you citing this as "international law"? Even if so, then the rulings of the courts here are completely misinterpreting same.
