Neutral waters
Neutral waters is a legal term from international laws of war, that refers to territorial waters of a state which maintains neutrality respective to the conflict in question.[1][2] For example, San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea defines the neutral waters as follows (article 14):[1]
| “ | Neutral waters consist of the internal waters, territorial sea, and, where applicable, the archipelagic waters, of neutral States. | ” |
In colloquial use, however, this term is often used as synonymous to international waters.
