Red Cross on "unlawful combatants"

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I don't understand how the opinion of the Red Cross is valid in this context. Should this be separated from the legal decision and classed as an opinion?

""If civilians directly engage in hostilities, they are considered "unlawful" or "unprivileged" combatants or belligerents (the treaties of humanitarian law do not expressly contain these terms). They may be prosecuted under the domestic law of the detaining state for such action. Both lawful and unlawful combatants may be interned in wartime, may be interrogated and may be prosecuted for war crimes. Both are entitled to humane treatment in the hands of the enemy."[5]"
