| Angary, in international law, the right of belligerents to requisition for their use neutral merchant vessels, aircraft, and other means of transport that are within their territorial jurisdiction. |
| But the right of angary itself is rather a right deriving from the law of war. |
| Whatever the extent of the right of angary may be, it does not derive from the law of neutrality. |
| The right of angary has, in effect, come to be extended to cover not only land and sea transport but also any kind of neutral property under the jurisdiction of a belligerent. |
| Generally, the right of angary should be applied only in case of pressing need in time of war, and compensation is due to the neutral owner. |
