A neutral country takes no side in a war between other parties, and in return hopes to avoid being attacked by either of them. A neutralist policy aims at neutrality in case of an armed conflict that could involve the party in question. A ''neutralist'' is an advocate of neutrality in international affairs. The concept of ''neutrality in conflicts'' must be distinguished from that of Non-aligned, i.e. the willful desistence from military alliances aiming at neutrality in case of war, and often intended to prevent war ''per se.'' The concept of ''neutrality in war'' is narrowly defined and puts specific constraints on the neutral party in return for the internationally recognized right to remain neutral. A wider concept is that of nonbelligerence. The basic international laws covering neutral territories is the Second Hague Convention. Some neutral countries include: *Switzerland - self-imposed, permanent, and armed, designed to ensure external security. *Austria - to maintain external independence and inviolability of borders (expressly modeled after the Swiss neutrality). *Turkmenistan - declared its permanent neutrality and had it formally recognized by the U.N. *Laos - the International Agreement on the Neutrality of Laos was signed in Geneva on July 23, 1962 by 14 nations, including the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Other countries may be more active on the international stage, while emphasizing an intention to remain neutral in case of war close to the country. By such a declaration of intentions, the country hopes that all belligerents will count on the country's territory as off limits for the enemy, and hence unnecessary to waste resources on. Many countries made such declarations during World War II. Most became, however, occupied, and in the end only Ireland, Sweden and Switzerland (with Liechtenstein) remained neutral of the European countries closest to the war. Their fulfillment to the letter of the rules of neutrality have been questioned: Ireland supplied some important secret information to the Allies; for instance, the date of D-Day was decided on the basis of incoming Atlantic meteorology secretly supplied to them by Ireland but kept by it from Germany. Sweden and Switzerland, as embedded within Nazi Germany and her associates, similarly made some concessions to Nazi requests. == See also == * non-belligerent * Non-Aligned Movement * Swedish neutrality during World War II ==External link== *[http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/lawofwar/hague05.htm Second Hague Convention] Laws of war International relations
Here I get confused. The link that says "Second Hague Convention" goes to a page with ''"Hague V"'' in its title. The problem is that I myself have put the link on the page, initially. I wonder if I am confused now or if I was then!
--User:Ruhrjung 12:40, 2 May 2004 (UTC) I strenously object to listin the United States as an example of "Neutral countries" while excluding for example Ireland and Sweden on the basis that they surreptitiously cooperated with one side during the Second World War. The US has certainly tried to stay out of "permanent alliances", put to claim that it isn't currently in any defense alliances of significane (e.g. NATO) would certainly be very misleading. --User:Gabbe 21:49, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC) May I kindly ask you to read the article once again? Maybe you then will notice that it's a list of ''"models",'' and that it for the US has solely historical relevance.
