The general object of these laws may be described asfto clrcuniscribc violence-to protect non-combatants. to safeguard the sick and wounded, to prescribe respect for private property, to extend immunity from attack to un- dcfenrled plnces. and to humanizc the actual hostilities. THE IMMUNITIES OF PERSONS. 'The most vital of these laws are those which distinguish between thc persons and places open to attack or immune from it. All the subjects of one belligerent State are the enemies of the other State, but not ull are coni- batants, and those who are not with- in this latter category are entitled to have their lives spared and tholr lib- erty, within limits, respected. Each class-combatants and non-combal- ants-have their respective privileges. but members of one class cannot claim the privileges of both, and a person lu the equivocal position of n spy is en- tltl'ed o the privileges of neither. A non-combntnnt enjoys immunity from attack. and a combatant, though, of course, liable to be killed during hos- tilities. may claim to be spared ,if he surrenders, and to be treated as a pris- oner of war. But n non-combatant discovered with arms in his hands is not entitled to such tender treatment for he has forfeited the one character without acquiring tho other. .This is only one way of saying that if a man wishes to light for his country he must not do it surreptltloualy. He must.. to quote the Hague Convention ll (Article l.) of 1907 carry his arms openly, wear a distinguished emblem, and be under the orders of a respon- sible commander. - The Convention marks an advance, however, on pre-existing practices, es- pecially' on the cruel practices of the Germans in the Pranco~Prunslan War, in that it recognizes the right of the inhabitants of invaded territory to improvise resistance. A 'spontaneous rising' of the population even though unorganized. ls not to subject the peo- ple to the rigorous penalty of being shot’ out of hand, as though they were non-combatants who had usurped the title of combatants. But everything depends on whether the territory ls invaded or 'occupied' If the enemy are in effective possession the subse- quent rising of the inhabitants may be rigorously suppressed as a rebel- lion. But the isolated action of in- dividuals is not to subject the pop- ulation to the vicarious punishment of fine or declmation.
