How can the soldiers be treated as POW's when the U.S. hasn't

officially declared war against Serbia?

The Geneva Conventions cover all kinds of armed conflict, not just declared wars.


| ARTICLE 2
|
| In addition to the provisions which shall be implemented in peace
| time, the present Convention shall apply to all cases of declared war
| or of any other armed conflict which may arise between two or more of
| the High Contracting Parties, even if the state of war is not
| recognized by one of them.
