Safe conduct is the situation in time of international conflict or war where one state, a party to such conflict, issues to a person, usually an enemy state's subject, a pass or document to allow the enemy alien to traverse its territory without harassment, bodily harm, or fear of death. Safe conduct is only granted in exceptional circumstances. Safe conduct may be given to an enemy to allow retreat under surrender terms or for a meeting to negotiate, or to a stateless person, or to somebody who for some reason would normally not be able to pass.

Un Sauf-conduit est un document accordé par l'autorité d'un gouvernement à une personne de nationalité étrangère et qui garantit à ce dernier la sécurité et la liberté de mouvement à l'intérieur et à travers les frontières de la juridiction de ce gouvernement.
