Traditionally, the right of States to remain aloof from conflict between other States, and to have that stance recognised as the legal status of neutrality, was the most developed third party right.

My personal position is in line with my country's international status of neutrality and therefore, as the amendment is not at all lucid, I decided that I could not vote in favour or abstain.

After the coup by the Marxist PDPA in Kabul in April 1978 Soviet officials grew reluctant to acknowledge Afghanistan's legal status of neutrality in relation to the USSR.

Two-and a half years into World War I, the United States had maintained a status of neutrality while the Allied armies had been fighting those of the Central Powers in the trenches of northern France and Belgium.

Biarritz, situated on the Côte Basque, in proximity to wealthy Spanish clients, had the status of neutrality during World War I, allowing it to become the playground for the moneyed and those exiled from their native countries by the hostilities.
