"enemy combatants captured under various circumstances can be tried by military tribunals or given summary executions on the battlefield if they are "unlawful combatants" under the 1949 Geneva Conventions."

Citations, please.

As you said "the Geneva Convention...states *clearly*", so this should "clearly" be easy for you to show me.

The Geneva Conventions Treaty states clearly who is and is not a legal combatant.

Those who are *not* legal combatants are not protected by the safeguards in the Geneva Conventions, and fall under other treaties and laws, such as the Law of War.

Without Geneva Conventions protections, unlawful combatants may be given summary battlefield justice, up to and including being shot on sight.
