No problem there. The Geneva and Hague conventions do not apply to

Nonsense. *How often do we have to go over this? *The Fourth Geneva
Convention applies to "those who, at a given moment and in any manner
whatsoever, find themselves, in case of a conflict or occupation, in
the hands of a Party to the conflict or Occupying Power of which they
are not nationals".

We'll go over it until it is clear:

You quote Article IV of the 4th Geneva Convention. Had you not quit reading
at that point, you would have encountered Article V.

"Where, in the territory of a Party to the conflict, the latter is satisfied
that an individual protected person is definitely suspected of or engaged in
activities hostile to the security of the State, such individual person
shall NOT be entitled to claim such rights and privileges under the present
Convention as would, if exercised in the favour of such individual person,
be prejudicial to the security of such State..."

Yeah, it's unbelievable how stupid some people can be. He takes the
section of the Geneva convention that clearly applies to civilians
that are NOT engaged in combat and apply it to terrorists that cut off
the heads of women and throw acid in the face of children trying to go
to school.
