Definición

  • The term of noncombatant prisoner, while existing before, has expanded in meaning since September 11, 2001, and includes fighters not usually protected under international law. Noncombatant prisoners are typically not civilians but rather captured unlawful or illegal combatants or illegal enemy combatants—those who actively and willingly engage in fighting but do not follow all requirements for combatant status and therefore do not gain full rights of the Geneva Convention (GC) when captured.
