Which group includes members of armed forces whose duties do not involve fighting and who are immune from attack?

• A. Unlawful Combatants
• B. Non Combatants
• C. Hostile Act
• D. PID

Answer: (B)

Non-combatant immunity is the idea that people not taking part in fighting may not be attacked. Some members of armed forces have duties that don’t involve combat, such as medical personnel, engineers, or support staff, and as long as they are not participating in hostilities, they’re protected as non-combatants. This protection prevents them from being targeted simply because they belong to the armed forces but aren’t fighting at that moment.

Unlawful combatants do not enjoy this protection, since they are considered combatants who do not meet the laws of armed conflict. A “hostile act” isn’t a group of people, and PID isn’t a recognized category in this context.
