(explaining in the context of a prosecution of rebels for treason that “war might be levied without a battle, or the
actual application of force to the object on which it was designed to act; that a body of men assembled for the
purpose of war, and being in a posture of war, do levy war; and from that opinion I have certainly felt no disposition
to recede. But the intention is an indispensable ingredient in the composition of the fact; and if war may be levied
without striking the blow, the intention to strike must be plainly proved.”).
1954 HAGUE CULTURAL
PROPERTY CONVENTION art. 18 (“the present Convention shall apply in the event of declared war or of any other
armed conflict which may arise between two or more of the High Contracting Parties, even if the state of war is not
recognized by one or more of them.”)
“There is no need for a formal declaration of war, or for the recognition of the
existence of a state of war, as preliminaries to the application of the Convention. The occurrence of de facto
hostilities is sufficient.”
