#1 The requirements for a liberation movement to fall under the geneva conventions are rather explicit. This is from the third Geneva convention defining what is a prisoner of war:

(2) Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, belonging to a Party to the conflict and operating in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied, provided that such militias or volunteer corps, including such organized resistance movements, fulfil the following conditions:

(a) that of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;

(b) that of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;

(c) that of carrying arms openly;

(d) that of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

#3 An enemy combatant fighting without a uniform used to be considered a spy and could be shot or executed as such.

I personally think giving these psychopaths any legal standing is a mistake. We should shoot them on sight, give no quarter and never take a prisoner unless we can torture them for information. Sometimes I believe that terrorizing the terrorists as the IDF does on a regular basis is the only way to treat them. Kill their families, raze their homes and sieze their assetts.
