USUS BELLICI
Usus bellici refers to warlike objects or uses that are considered contraband because they are used by a belligerent to support its war effort. These items are not inherently military in nature.
These examples illustrate how items that are not typically associated with warfare can become contraband if they are being used to support a military effort. This is important in international law because it allows countries to prevent their resources from being used to support a war effort that they do not agree with.
