A civilian, according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of his or her country's [[UNSC|armed forces]]. The term is also often used colloquially to refer to people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, especially by [[Civilian Security Forces|law enforcement]] [[Special Weapons And Tactics|agencies]], which often use rank structures similar to those of military units.
