The Case of the Virginius: Considered With Reference to the Law of Self-Defence

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the case of the Virginius in reference to the law of self-defense, using it to explore the right to seize vessels on the high seas. The author does so by examining how Spain and the United States handled the case, focusing on whether Spainâs seizure was justifiable even if the Virginius lacked a legitimate claim to being a documented American vessel. The book argues that Spain was within its rights to seize the vessel, even if it had no right to wear the American flag as this was a question that could have been tested in court. The author concludes that this case set an important precedent for the right of nations to defend themselves against vessels used to make war upon their dominions, even if those vessels are not technically considered enemy property.
