Definition of combatant
Definition: A combatant is a person who directly participates in hostilities. Legitimate combatants are members of the armed forces or uniformed members of a militia or volunteer corps, under military command and subject to the laws of war. On the other hand, an enemy combatant is a combatant captured and detained while serving in a hostile force during open warfare.
Examples:
- A soldier fighting in a war is a combatant.
- A member of a militia group under military command is a legitimate combatant.
- An enemy combatant is a person captured while fighting for the opposing side in a war.
The examples illustrate that a combatant is someone who is directly involved in fighting during a war. Legitimate combatants are those who are part of a recognized military force, while enemy combatants are those who are fighting against that recognized force.
