Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Belligerent Right on the High Seas: Since the Declaration of Paris, 1856 A Generation of Statesmen has passed away since the Plenipotentiaries of the Seven Powers, who took part in the Congress of Paris of 1856, agreed upon a Declaration respecting Maritime Law, the motive of which was a desire to render war, as a state of international relations, as little onerous as possible to neutrals. The object of the Powers, as expressed in the preamble of the Declaration, was to establish an uniform doctrine on certain points, on which the uncertainty of the Law and of the duties resulting therefrom gives rise to differences of opinion between belligerents and neutrals, that may occasion serious difficulties and even conflicts between them. Their first Resolution accordingly was to declare Privateering (La Course) to be abolished. Their second and third Resolutions restricted the belligerent right of interference with neutral commerce to cases where that commerce was materially sustaining the- enemy´s defence. The fourth Resolution declared that blockades in order to be binding must be effective. The Signatory Powers on this occasion undertook to invite the States, which had not taken part in the Congress, to accede to the Declaration. Of the States so invited, two States only of the first rank as Maritime Powers declined to accede to the Declaration. The United States of America were unwilling to adhere to the first Resolution unless the Powers would go one step further and apply the principle of inviolability to all private property on the High Seas.
