Bugün öğrendim ki: Cenevre sözleşmesine göre, havada fırlatılan bir pilot muharip değildir ve bu nedenle ona saldırmak bir savaş suçudur.

**Attacks on parachutists** , as defined by the [law of war](/wiki/Law_of_war "Law of war"), is when [pilots](/wiki/Pilot_\(aircraft\) "Pilot \(aircraft\) )"), [aircrews](/wiki/Aircrew "Aircrew"), and [passengers](/wiki/Passenger "Passenger") are attacked while descending by [parachute](/wiki/Parachute "Parachute") from disabled [ aircraft](/wiki/Aircraft "Aircraft") during [wartime](/wiki/War "War"). This practice is considered by most militaries around the world to be inhumane, as the attacked personnel would eventually become [POWs](/wiki/Prisoner_of_war "Prisoner of war") if [parachuted](/wiki/Parachuting "Parachuting") over enemy territory Such parachutists are considered _[hors de combat](/wiki/Hors_de_combat "Hors de combat")_ under the [Protocol I](/wiki/Protocol_I "Protocol I") addition to the [1949 Geneva Conventions](/wiki/ Geneva_Conventions "Geneva Conventions"), meaning that attacking them is a [war crime](/wiki/War_crime "War crime"). Firing on [airborne forces](/wiki/Airborne_forces "Airborne forces") who are descending by parachute is not prohibited.[1]
