Difference between Perfidy and War crime

Perfidy vs. War crime

In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deception in which one side promises to act in good faith (such as by raising a flag of truce) with the intention of breaking that promise once the unsuspecting enemy is exposed (such as by coming out of cover to attack the enemy coming to take the "surrendering" prisoners into custody). A war crime is an act that constitutes a serious violation of the laws of war that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility.
