4.3 LAWFUL COMBATANTS AND UNPRIVILEGED BELLIGERENTS

>meme folders?

 

In addition to distinguishing between the armed forces and the civilian population, the

law of war also distinguishes between “privileged” and “unprivileged,” or “lawful” and

“unlawful” combatants. As the Supreme Court has explained:

Lawful combatants are subject to capture and detention as prisoners of war by

opposing military forces. Unlawful combatants are likewise subject to capture and

detention, but in addition they are subject to trial and punishment by military

tribunals for acts which render their belligerency unlawful.29

“Unlawful combatants” or “unprivileged belligerents” are persons who, by engaging in

hostilities, have incurred one or more of the corresponding liabilities of combatant status (e.g.,

being made the object of attack and subject to detention), but who are not entitled to any of the

distinct privileges of combatant status (e.g., combatant immunity and POW status).
