Madagascar’s Military Manual (1994) provides: “A combatant who is recognized (or should be recognized) as being
hors de combat shall not be attacked (surrendering, wounded, shipwrecked …). The intent to surrender can be shown with a white flag.”
The manual adds: “Captured enemy combatants, whether having surrendered or not, are prisoners of war and shall no longer be attacked.”
