Read a random definition: jingle rule

A quick definition of right of visit:

Right of visit: The right of a country to stop and examine ships on the high seas to determine if they are carrying goods that could be captured. This includes the right to search a neutral ship during times of war to ensure it is not carrying goods that could aid the enemy. However, this right does not give the country the authority to destroy the ship without proper examination, unless the crew actively resists. This is also known as the right of search or right of visit and search.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The right of visit, also known as the right of search, is a legal concept in international law that allows a belligerent state to stop, visit, and examine vessels on the high seas to determine whether they or the goods they carry are liable to capture under the international law of naval warfare. This right does not include the right to destroy a vessel without a full examination, unless those on board actively resist.

Example: During a war, a navy ship from one country may stop and search a merchant ship from a neutral country to ensure that it is not carrying any goods that could aid the enemy. If the navy ship finds any such goods, it may seize them and detain the ship until the end of the war.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the right of visit or search is used in international law during times of war. It allows belligerent states to prevent neutral countries from aiding their enemies by transporting goods that could be used for military purposes. The right of visit or search is an important tool for maintaining the safety and security of a country during times of conflict.
