U.S. Nationals and Foreign Military Service

Abstract

International law grants rights to and imposes duties upon a neutral state during an armed conflict between belligerent nations. One of these duties is that neutral states shall not furnish troops to belligerent states, except this duty does not include independent actions by a neutral state's citizens. A state's neutrality is usually unaffected if its citizens willingly serve in a belligerent state's armed forces.
