Abstract
The question of application of the law of naval warfare during non-international armed conflict (NIAC) at sea is still an area of uncharted waters. Some discussion on the matter surfaced in reaction to the Israeli naval blockades against Hamas and Hezbollah and the applicability of the law of blockade in NIAC, mainly limited to noting possible other historical examples. At this stage in the development of the law of armed conflict at sea in NIAC, there are no clear legal opinions or any direction to where this issue might go to. This article offers an introductory view on some challenges of applying the law of naval warfare during non-international armed conflict and a discussion on the use of the law of blockade in particular.
