A quick definition of perfidy:

Term: PERFIDY

Definition: Perfidy is when someone tricks their enemy by pretending to be something they are not, like pretending to want to talk peace when really they plan to attack. It is against the rules of war to use perfidy, like pretending to be a neutral country or the United Nations to gain an advantage.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Perfidy is a term used in international law to describe a combatant's deceptive conduct that creates the impression that an adversary is entitled to protection under international law, when in fact the conduct is a ruse to gain an advantage.

Examples of perfidy include:

  • Feigning an intent to negotiate under a flag of truce
  • Feigning protected status by using signs, emblems, or uniforms of the United Nations or of a neutral country

These examples illustrate how a combatant may use deceitful tactics to gain an advantage in a conflict. By pretending to negotiate or by using symbols of protection, the combatant is able to gain the trust of their adversary and potentially launch a surprise attack or engage in other harmful actions.
