A soldier held captive by an enemy is commonly referred to as a prisoner of war (POW). This designation applies to military personnel who are captured during armed conflict and are protected under international humanitarian law, particularly the Geneva Conventions. POWs are entitled to certain rights and protections during their captivity, including humane treatment and the right to communicate with their families.
