3.2 Combatant

3.2.1 CombatantThe combatant (the IAC's privileged fighter): the state's armed forces (the GC III's definition: the organised under responsible command); the militias'-and-volunteers' inclusion (the four Hague conditions: the responsible command, the fixed distinctive sign, the arms carried openly, the laws' respect). The privileges: the lawful belligerency (the killing of enemy combatants no murder); the combatant immunity (the lawful acts of war not prosecutable); the POW status on capture. The status's exclusions: the spies, the mercenaries (3.4.2-3.4.3); the unprivileged belligerents (the NIAC's fighters — no combatant immunity: the domestic law's prosecution — the modern "unlawful combatant" debates).3.2.2 Medical and Religious PersonsThe protected servants: the medical personnel (the army's-and-civilian's: the wounded's care) and the religious (the chaplains); the protections: the attacks' immunity, the capture's faces (the retained persons — not POWs: the continued medical service); the emblems (the red cross-and- crescent — the protective-and-indicative uses; the misuse's prohibition — the perfidy of U4.2.2); the medical units-and-transports (the hospitals' immunity; the wounded's abandonment's bar).
