The law of neutrality - the corpus of legal rules regulating the
relationship between belligerents and States taking no part in
hostilities - assumed its modern form in a world in which the
waging of war was unconstrained. The neutral State enjoyed
territorial inviolability to the extent that it adhered to the
obligations attaching to its neutral status and thus the law of
neutrality provided spatial parameters for the conduct of
hostilities. Yet the basis on which the law of neutrality developed
- the extra-legal character of war - no longer exists. Does the law
of neutrality continue to survive in the modern era? If so, how has
it been modified by the profound changes in the law on the use of
force and the law of armed conflict? This book argues that
neutrality endures as a key concept of the law of armed conflict.
The interaction between belligerent and nonbelligerent States
continues to require legal regulation, as demonstrated by a number
of recent conflicts, including the Iraq War of 2003 and the Mavi
Marmara incident of 2010. By detailing the rights and duties of
neutral states and demonstrating how the rules of neutrality
continue to apply in modern day conflicts, this restatement of law
of neutrality will be a useful guide to legal academics working on
the law of armed conflict, the law on the use of force, and the
history of international law, as well as for government and
military lawyers seeking comprehensive guidance in this difficult
area of the law.
