unlawful confinement

Read a random definition: pretextual arrest

A quick definition of unlawful confinement:

Unlawful confinement is when someone is kept in a place against their will and it is against the law. This is considered a very serious crime during times of war and can be punished by the International Criminal Court. To be considered unlawful confinement, the person being kept against their will must be protected by certain rules and laws, and the confinement must be related to a war or conflict that involves different countries.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Unlawful confinement is a serious crime that is considered a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. This crime occurs when a person is unlawfully confined or detained against their will. To be considered unlawful confinement, the following elements must be present:

Examples:

During the Bosnian War, Serbian forces unlawfully confined and detained thousands of Bosniak and Croat civilians in detention camps. These civilians were subjected to torture, rape, and other forms of inhumane treatment.

In 2014, ISIS militants unlawfully confined and detained American journalist James Foley. Foley was held captive for several months before he was brutally executed by his captors.

These examples illustrate how unlawful confinement can occur during times of war or conflict. It is a serious violation of human rights and can result in severe physical and psychological harm to the victim(s).
