Blockade of Yemen - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Rob McLaughlin
      - Might be relevant to NIACs but is it relevant to trigger blockade/LoNW?
      - does it make it an IAC?
    - - literal reading of common article 3 and AP 11?
      - should spill overs change the character of a NIAC?
      - if for eg Saudi Arabia starts intercepting boats further than the territorial sea and interfering in neutral shipping.. then does this make it a NIAC?
      - attacks from houtis on SA ie Jazan
- - - - Heinegg argues that absent recognition of belligerency, can't establish a blockade under NIAC.
        
        Fink agrees with this... says there has been no recognition of belligerency in Yemen conflict. Therefore LoNW does not apply
    - - Guilfoyle - issue with Drew's argument is state practice.
  - - - fact that established in territorial sea indicates Coalition did not consider it a blockade.. Fink
      - state practice
    - - must all ports be controlled?
        
        Factual complexity
        
        SRM - all things stopped going in and out - exception of humanitarian aid and warships

      - Yes
        
        Heinegg - provided in the territorial sea and doesn't interfere w neutral shipping. & there's recognition of belligerency.
        
        point to US prize cases
      - Relevance of Gaza...
- - - - relied upon the German Military Manual by tribunal on Yugoslavia - which didn't distinguish.. but has subsequently been revised.
