I think that unlawful combatant status was defined during the Nuremberg trials, I also believe that it was re-affirmed by the US Supreme Court in and I might be reaching 2001.

Basically its still defined as such and why people that run around disguised as civilians, shooting up other people in the simplest terms aren't protected by the Geneva Convention.

And the one's man unlawful combatant is another man's freedom fighter to me has the horrifying implication that you could suddenly define terrorists as freedom fighters. Or in a stretch legit miltiary.
