The Rost Convention.
The Convention declared that belligerent submarines are not in any circumstances, exempt from the rules applicable to surface vessels and that any submarine commander who violates any of these rules should be liable to trial and punishment for an act of piracy, and that the prohibition of use of submarines as commerce destroyers should be universally accepted on the part of all of the nations in view of the practical impossibility of using them in this way, and at the same time giving due protection to lives of neutrals and non-combatants. Legal experts are now considering whether any modification of these principles is considered desirable British Wireless.
