[Sidenote: Appropriation of all the Enemy Property no longer
admissible.]
§ 133. Under a former rule of International Law belligerents could
appropriate all public and private[270] enemy property they found on
enemy territory. This rule is now obsolete. Its place is taken by
several rules, since distinctions are to be made between moveable and
immoveable property, public and private property, and, further, between
different kinds of private and public property. These rules must be
discussed _seriatim_.
[Footnote 270: It is impossible for a treatise to go into historical
details, and to show the gradual disappearance of the old rule. But it
is of importance to state the fact, that even during the nineteenth
century--see, for instance, G. F. Martens, II. § 280; Twiss, II. § 64;
Hall, § 139--it was asserted that in strict law all private enemy
moveable property was as much booty as public property, although the
growth of a usage was recognised which under certain conditions exempted
it from appropriation. In the face of articles 46 and 47 of the Hague
Regulations these assertions have no longer any basis, and all the
text-books of the nineteenth century are now antiquated with regard to
this matter.]
