Synopsis
Excerpt from The Immunity of Private Property From Capture at Sea
A proposal of immunity from capture at sea for all private property not subject to the law Of contraband or blockade was seriously debated by a Commission of the Second Hague Con ference. The proposal originated with the Government Of the United States which has, from its foundation, advocated com plete inviolability for commerce in time of war. Contemporary publicists have given considerable attention to the question, and various bodies, both public and private, have within recent years passed resolutions in favor Of immunity. The war now in prog ress furnishes an unparalleled criterion of the value of existing legal limitations upon the right Of capture and an index of the prospect for complete immunity. This conjunction Of circumstances favorable to an investiga tion Of the status of private property in maritime warfare occurs at a time when no historical presentation of the subject in Eng lish exists. The treatise of Professor Charles de Boeck, De la propriété privée ennemie sous pavillon ennemi, published at Paris in 1882, is an exhaustive exposition Of the material avail able up to that date. The rarity Of this scholarly work as well as the valuable store Of fact and opinion which it contains have appeared to justify a considerable number Of references to it. The majority of writers, however, tend to treat the subject either theoretically or from the viewpoint Of the present advantage of immunity to a particular country. Both methods of approach lack the essential background of history. Considerations of theory, history and policy all enter into any sound conclusions upon the present question.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an expert in the history of international law, traces the gradual development of ethical limitations on the right to seize private property at sea during wartime. From the earliest documented maritime laws of the 13th century, through the era of colonial empires, and up to the Declaration of Paris in 1856, the author examines treaties, legal arguments, and military practices. The book explains how self-interest and evolving political dynamics pushed the major naval powers to gradually adopt more humane rules. It explores how the compromise established by the Declaration of Parisâ"allowing the seizure of enemy ships but not their cargo, and vice versaâ"reflected the balance between belligerent interests and the rights of neutral parties. Ultimately, this book highlights the evolving nature of warfare and the struggle to maintain a balance between military necessity and humanitarian concerns.
