Answered by pinkpepe2 | 2024-06-10

The enemy combatant is an individual who, either legally or illegally, directly participates in hostilities for an opponent state or non-state entertainer in an equipped dispute. Before 2008, the definition was: "Any individual in an outfitted clash who could be appropriately confined under the laws and customs of war." For the situation of a civil war or an uprising the expression "enemy state," might be supplanted by the broader term "Party to the conflict".

An enemy combatant is someone who directly participates in hostilities for an opposing side in armed conflicts, often lacking the protections given to prisoners of war. The term gained prominence in U.S. policy after 9/11, leading to controversial detentions at places like Guantanamo Bay. Supreme Court decisions have shaped the legal implications surrounding enemy combatants, particularly regarding due process for U.S. citizens.
