International Prize Court

The International Prize Court was established to settle disputes involving prizes awarded during maritime warfare, such as bounty claims from captured ships. Created under the 1907 Hague Convention, it aimed to ensure fair adjudication of prize claims, promoting justice in international maritime law. Though it never functioned as a court, the concept reflects efforts to regulate naval warfare and protect rights during conflicts. In essence, it sought to create a legal framework for resolving complex issues related to maritime prizes, ensuring that parties received just treatment under international law.
