A neutral Government is bound:—
1. To guard assiduously against any vessel
being armed or equipped in its ports, which
there is reason to believe would be employed
for warlike purposes against a peaceful power,
and with equal assiduity to prevent any vessel
designed for privateering, or other hostility,
from leaving the domain of the neutral State:
2. Not to allow any belligerent power to
make use of its ports or harbours as the basis
of its operations, or for strengthening or
repairing its military strength, or for enlisting:
3. To use every care within its ports and
harbours and over all persons within its
domain, to prevent any violation of the
obligations named.
The contracting parties to this treaty agreed
to hold themselves responsible for the future,
and to bring them before the notice of other
Maritime powers, with the recommendation
that they also should enter into them.
The historical facts here produced show that
the mutual interest nations have in the
inviolability of the seas has effectually contributed
to the development of an accepted international
law.
