There DOES need to be a downside to being a terrorist with no official sponsorship.)

It simply states that all armed combatants captured on the battlefield without a recognizable uniform of an armed force is to be considered a spy. All spies on the battlefield can be summarily shot. (Read it and weep black robed liberal). Next only countries that are signatories of the treaty are covered in the treaty too. (Again read it and weep, you treasonous posers).
