Record 3 2010-04-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • War and Peace (International Law)
  • International Relations
CONT

Impartiality is the cornerstone of the traditional doctrine of neutrality. It is the tightrope which the neutral chooses to walk; a fall to one side or the other is so devastating that the crippled neutral will not be able again to ascend the ladder to the lofty heights of detachment that neutrality requires. The Hague Conventions called for impartiality to be exercised by a neutral in regulating the use of its territory in any form. A neutral power had to apply total impartiality to the belligerents in regard to any conditions, restrictions, or prohibitions made by it in regard to the admission into its ports, territorial waters, and territory.

The mining dredges were land-locked floating machines, digging the ponds that allowed them to float - and thus move - across the area to be mined.
