THE RECOGNITION OF BELLIGERENCY AND

OF INDEPENDENCE

NOTES 15 AND 16 TO THE 8TH EDITION OF WHEATON'S "ELEMENTS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW," BY MR. RICHARD HENRY DANA, 1866

Recognition of Belligerency.-The occasion for the accordance of belligerent rights arises when a civil conflict exists within a foreign state. The reason which requires and can alone justify this step by the government of another country is that its own rights and interests are so far affected as to require a definition of its own relations to the parties. Where a parent government is seeking to subdue an insurrection by municipal force, and the insurgents claim a political nationality and belligerent rights which the parent government does not concede, a recognition by a foreign state of full belligerent rights, if not justified by necessity, is a gratuitous demonstration of moral support to the rebellion and of censure upon the parent government. But the situation of a foreign state with reference to the contest and to the condition of affairs between the contending parties may be such as to justify this act. It is important, therefore, to determine what state of affairs and what relations of the foreign state justify the recognition.

It is certain that the state of things between the parent state and insurgents must amount, in fact, to a war, in the sense of international law; that is, powers and rights of war must be in actual exercise, otherwise the recognition is falsified, for the recognition is of a fact. The tests to determine the question are various and far more decisive where there is maritime war and commercial relations with foreigners. Among the tests are the existence of a de facto political organization of the insurgents, sufficient in character, population, and resources to constitute it, if left to itself, a state among the nations, reasonably capable of discharging the duties of a state; the actual employment of military forces on each side, acting in accordance with the rules and customs of war, such as the use of flags of truce, cartels, exchange of prisoners, and the treatment of captured insurgents by the parent state as prisoners of war; and, at sea, employment by the insurgents of commissioned cruisers, and the exercise by the parent government of the rights of blockade of insurgent ports against neutral commerce and of stopping and searching neutral vessels at sea.
