- W2341535331 abstract "Perhaps no issue has stirred more controversy in connection with the U.S. military action in Afghanistan in the wake of the September 11 attacks than has the Bush Administration’s decision to deny prisoner of war of war status to captured Taliban and al Qaeda fighters and to classify them instead as “unlawful” or “unprivileged” combatants. Apart from the Administration’s justification for its decision, much of the controversy involves differing views as to whether customary and conventional international law rules prescribing conditions for entitlement to prisoner of war status apply to all or only specific categories of combatants. Because denial of prisoner of war status to combatants in international hostilities potentially entails life or death consequences for the person(s) concerned, such determinations merit very careful scrutiny to ensure that they were taken in conformity with applicable legal rules and procedures. This paper traces, albeit not exhaustively, the historical development in modern treaty law of the rules applicable to combatant status and entitlement to prisoner of war status. It examines the important legal distinction between privileged and unprivileged combatants in customary and conventional international law and explains why the status of privileged combatant is strictly limited to international armed conflicts. It also analyzes the strict conditions in Hague and Geneva treaty provisions with which irregular combatants must comply in order to qualify for prisoner of war status as well as techniques a Detaining power may employ to deny them that status. The paper briefly examines the new relaxed standards in the 1977 First Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 19492 under which irregular combatants may qualify as well as forfeit their entitlement to prisoner of war status. It then assesses, in light of applicable law and by reference to U.S. actions in other international hostilities, the reasons advanced by the Bush Administration for denying captured Taliban and al Qaeda fighters prisoner of war status. The paper concludes with an examination of the legal protections that the United States is obliged under human rights and humanitarian law to accord persons detained as unprivileged combatants." @default.
