Hors de combat

==The phrase it's self==
"Hors de combat" means:
*"Out of (the) fight" or "outside the fight"
It is a French term used in diplomacy and international law to refer to persons who are incapable of performing combat. It is a set of criteria that are to be consulted before engaging in a fight or battle during war in order to determine whether entering into war is permissible, that is, whether it is a just war.
==The wartime usages of the clause==
:A person is considered "hors de combat" if:
# He is in the power of an adverse Party;
# He clearly expresses an intention to surrender; or
# He has been rendered unconscious or is otherwise incapacitated by wounds or sickness, and therefore is incapable of defending himself; provided that in any of these cases he abstains from any hostile act and does not attempt to escape.
