Paperback. Condizione: 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.
