Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the claim by Great Britain to exercise the right of visitation and search on the high seas during peacetime to combat the slave trade. The author maintains that this right does not exist in peacetime and that Great Britain sought to impose it by virtue of its naval power. Competing arguments over this action are presented, including that it was a necessary measure to suppress the slave trade, which the author acknowledges as a crime against humanity. The author places the debate over the right of visitation within its historical context, discusses its implications for international law, and asserts that America rejected this claim as it could lead to the search of US ships and the violation of individual rights. The book examines the impact of the US position on the issue, as well as the potential consequences of a failure to abolish the slave trade.
