Home > White flag

A white flag is an international sign of either surrender, or truce, i.e., of peaceful intent, typically at time of war. Soldiers carrying or waving a white flag are not to be fired upon nor are they allowed to open fire.

It signifies to all that an approaching negotiator is unarmed, and an intent to surrender or a desire to communicate.

Persons carrying the white flag are expected to maintain neutrality, and may not engage in warlike acts.

The improper use of a white flag is a forbidden ruse of war and constitutes a war crime of perfidy .

The royal standard of France was once a plain white flag (to which a fleur-de-lys was later added, and which was replaced by the Tricolor).
