International Law
The Helsinki Principles on the Law of Maritime Neutrality
Merchant ships flying the flag of a neutral State may be attacked if they are believed on reasonable grounds to be carrying contraband or breaching a blockade, and after prior warning they intentionally and clearly refuse to stop, or intentionally and clearly resist visit, search, capture or diversion. Belligerent warships have a right to visit and search vis-à-vis neutral commercial ships in order to ascertain the character and destination of their cargo. If a ship tries to evade this control or offers resistance, measures of coercion necessary to exercise this right are permissible. This includes the right to divert a ship where visit and search at the place where the ship is encountered are not practical. Blockade, i.e. the interdiction of all or certain maritime traffic coming from or going to a port or coast of a belligerent, is a legitimate method of naval warfare. Neutral vessels believed on reasonable and probable grounds to be breaching a blockade may be stopped and captured. If they, after prior warning, clearly resist capture, they may be attacked. (Regard being paid to the principle of proportionality).
NGO "Lawfare": Exploitation of Courts in the Israeli-Arab Conflict
On December 9, 2010, NGO Monitor released an expanded edition of the “NGO Lawfare” monograph. The publication demonstrates and analyzes the ways in which non-governmental organizations (NGOs) using the language of human rights are exploiting European and US courts. These groups have initiated criminal and civil cases against Israeli officials for supposed “war crimes,” as part of lawfare – the use of legal frameworks to achieve political and military goals. [NGO "Lawfare" by Anne Herzberg is published by the NGO Monitor - www.ngo-monitor.org - and part of the NGO Monitor Monograph Series 3; December 09, 2010]
Report of the Turkel Commission for Examining the Maritime Incident of May 31, 2010 - Part One
The four Israeli members and two international observers who composed the Turkel Commission to investigate the Mavi Marmara flotilla incident on May 31 unanimously agreed that Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and its overland import restrictions, as well as its military actions in capturing the Mavi Marmara were in accordance with international law. This is the first of two scheduled reports and addresses the question of whether or not the naval blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip by Israel conformed with the rules of international law.
