Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Instructions for the Navy of the United States Governing Maritime Warfare: July, 1917 The following instructions have been prepared in accordance with international law, treaties, and conventions to which the United States is a party, the statutes of the United States, and, where no international agreement or treaty provision exists covering any special point, in accordance with the practice and attitude of the United States as hitherto determined by court decisions and Executive pronouncements. The treaties to which marginal references are made may be found in Treaties and Conventions between the United States and other Powers, 1776 - 1909, 1910 - 1913, three volumes. Treaties in force prior to 1904 are printed in Compilation of Treaties in Force, 1904. The Hague and Geneva conventions, which have been ratified before April 12, 1911, may also be found in Navy Department publication entitled "Hague and Geneva Conventions." The Geneva convention of 1906 is also printed with International Law Topics and Discussions, Naval War College, 1906. All The Hague conventions of 1907, whether or not ratified, were printed for convenience of reference with International Law Situations, Naval War College, 1908. Treaties between the United States and other powers are cited in the marginal references under the name of the foreign State, and the year of the treaty, as "Brazil, 1828," refers to the treaty between the United States and Brazil of 1828. Marginal references to treaties, etc., should be consulted before decisions are made. The Declaration of Paris of 1856 is cited as "Dec. of Paris, 1856." The United States did not formally adhere to this declaration, but has in practice followed its provisions. The Hague conventions are cited by the numbers assigned at The Hague conference, as: "IV, Hague, 1907," refers to the convention respecting the laws and customs of war on land. "VIII, Hague, 1907," refers to the convention relative to the laying of automatic-contact submarine mines. "IX, Hague, 1907," refers to the convention concerning bombardment by naval forces in time of war. "X, Hague, 1907," refers to the convention for the adaptation to maritime war of the principles of the Geneva convention. "XI, Hague, 1907," refers to the convention relative to certain restrictions with regard to the exercise of the right of capture in maritime war.
