1.
A civilian is any person who does not belong to one of the categories of persons referred to in Article 4 A (1), (2), (3) and (6) of the Third Convention and in Article 43 of this Protocol. In case of doubt whether a person is a civilian, that person shall be considered to be a civilian.
2.
The civilian population comprises all persons who are civilians.
3.
The presence within the civilian population of individuals who do not come within the definition of civilians does not deprive the population of its civilian character.
