Description

Belligerent Rights Asserted And Vindicated Against Neutral Encroachments: Being An Answer To An Examination Of The British Doctrine, originally published in 1806 by J. Johnson, is a book that defends the British doctrine of belligerent rights against criticisms from neutral nations. The book argues that belligerent rights, such as the right to search neutral ships for contraband and the right to seize enemy property on the high seas, are necessary for a nation at war to effectively prosecute the conflict. The author asserts that neutral nations have no right to interfere with these belligerent rights, as doing so would undermine the ability of belligerent nations to win wars. The book is a response to an earlier work that criticized British belligerent rights, and it provides a detailed defense of these rights from a British perspective. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding international law and the conduct of war in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
