Countries that haven't signed do violate it. Israel prevents ships free transit to the Gaza strip. US does naval blockades and blows up boats.
replyNaval blockades of enemy ports during war are legal, that is what USA and Israel argue they are doing. That is not what Iran is doing, they are blocking fully neutral ships from going in other countries waterways.
replyAre we at war with Cuba? US navy had been blockading the island from receiving fuel.
replyIf you perform acts of war then you are at war even if nobody uses that word.
replyUS at war? We are past the 60 days for a military operation. From US law perspective, it’s illegal. From the constitutional perspective only congress can declare war which they haven’t.
reply> From US law perspective, it’s illegal
replyBut US law is not international law. Internationally you are at war, whatever you call it internally doesn't matter to me.
