Synopsis
Excerpt from The Neutral Merchant: In Relation to the Law of Contraband of War and Blockade Under the Order in Council of 11th March 1915
It is not customary, except in one clear case, for a neutral Government to insist that a belligerent should adopt, in medias res, its views of a question which does not involve any issue of peace or war to press on him, in medium bellum, a modification of his belligerent action which might cost him the victory. The clear case of exception 1s when, philosophy at fault, there are not two sides to the question, but one only, and that testified to by flagrant breaches of the laws of humanity and war. Everything else is fair fighting; and for a neutral Government, because its own commercial interests are affected, to insist on the adoption of its view of a debateable point, to persist that it is not debateable, to take action, in itself a violation of international law,1 savours of unneutral service. In the absence of suggestion of any thing but perfect good faith, in the face of much demonstrated care of the interests of its citizens, the abandonment by a neutral Government of the dispassionate attitude which neutrality re quires not merely heartens the enemy but must result in rendering him material assistance.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a compilation of published articles by renowned jurist F.T. Piggott, explores the evolution of the concepts of contraband and blockade in international law, against the backdrop of Germany's relentless attacks on neutral shipping during World War 1. Piggott argues that the principles governing these doctrines are not static, but adapt to evolving circumstances, and that Britain's actions were justified in the face of Germany's unprecedented submarine warfare. Drawing on historical precedents and legal reasoning, the author traces the development of the concept of contraband from its origins in medieval trade restrictions to its modern interpretation as a means of preventing belligerents from acquiring war materials. He also examines the evolving definition of blockade and the increasing importance of the doctrine of continuous voyage in determining whether a ship is carrying contraband intended for an enemy destination. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal and historical foundations of these doctrines, shedding light on their crucial role in maintaining the balance between the rights of belligerents and neutrals in times of conflict.
