Everyone who is not in the army is a civilian. Someone who has been forced
to leave his or her country either because there is a war there or because
of his or her political or religious beliefs is a refugee. Someone who has been
captured by a person or organization and who may be killed or injured if
people do not do what that person or organisation demands is a hostage.
A soldier who has been captured by the enemy during a war is a prisoner.
A written agreement between countries in which they agree to do a particular thing
or to help each other is a treaty.
Formal discussions, especially in business and politics,
in which people try to reach an agreement are negotiations.
A meeting, often lasting a few days, which is organized on a particular subject or
to bring together people who have common interests is a conference.
A meeting at which the leaders of two or more countries discuss important matters is a summit.
The power that a country has to govern itself is sovereignty.
The state of being united or whole is integrity.
Something that you morally or legally entitled to do or to have is your right.
