Abstract
Neutrality is the legal framework that regulates the relationships between states that are engaged in armed conflict and those that are not. Commencing with a discussion on the development of the League of Armed Neutrality, this chapter examines the history and evolution of maritime neutrality law and how its development was influenced by maritime blockades and other maritime interdiction operations. Reviewing the traditional principles of maritime neutrality, particularly as set out in Hague Convention XIII, it reiterates that neutral status depends on the neutral state’s compliance with the rights and obligations concomitant with the law of neutrality. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the continuing applicability of the laws of neutrality in the era of the Charter of the United Nations.
