  The Neutral Territory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The status of the territory between the North Front of The Rock and La Linea was settled militarily and diplomatically over 200 years ago.
After the 14th seige ended in 1783, the British resumed the occupation of the British half of the neutral ground, and at least since 1838, when permenant sentries were posted along the line of the then existing frontier, the entire area has been exclusivly occupied and administered by the Gibraltar authorities.
In 1908 the British constructed a fence along 'the British edge of the neutral territory at Gibraltar' (actually, to avoid offending Spain it was put 1 metre inside the British territory) and, for reasons of courtesy, gave notice to the Government of Spain before doing so.

 USS Liberty Inquiry - Law: USN JAG Law Handbook, Ch. 7   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Neutral internal waters encompass those waters of a neutral nation that are landward of the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured, or, in the case of archipelagic states, within the closing lines drawn for the delimitation of such waters.
Neutral territorial seas, like neutral territory generally, must not be used by belligerent forces either as a sanctuary from their enemies or as a base of operations.
Should belligerent forces violate the neutrality of those waters and the neutral nation demonstrate an inability or unwillingness to detect and expel the offender, the other belligerent retains the right to undertake such self-help enforcement actions as are necessary to assure compliance by his adversary and the neutral nation with the law of neutrality.

 combatindex.com - Law of Land Warfare
In order to protect its neutrality, a State whose territory is adjacent to a theater of war normally mobilizes a portion of its forces to prevent troops of either belligerent from entering its territory, to intern such as maybe permitted to enter, and generally to carry out its duties of neutrality.
Should the neutral State be unable, or fail for any reason, to prevent violations of its neutrality by the troops of one belligerent entering or passing through its territory, the other belligerent may be justified in attacking the enemy forces on this territory.
The wounded or sick brought under these conditions into neutral territory by one of the belligerents, and belonging to the hostile party, must be guarded by the neutral Power so as to ensure their not taking part again in the operations of the war.

 International Crisis & Neutrality: US Foreign Policy Toward the Iran/Iraq War
Taken as a whole, the laws of neutrality were designed to operate in a system of international relations where war was considered to be an inescapable fact of international life and yet where the outbreak of war, between even major actors, did not automatically precipitate a total systemic war among all global powers.
The political and strategic dimensions of the international laws of neutrality were complicated by the fact that they operated upon the basis of a legal fiction concerning the neutral government's reputed non-responsibility for what were intrinsically non-neutral acts committed by its citizenry against a belligerent during wartime.
Nevertheless, the neutral power must apply equally to the two belligerents any conditions, restrictions, or prohibitions made by it in regard to the admission into its ports, roadsteads, or territorial waters of belligerent warships or of their prizes.

 CPJ Vol.1 1998 - Neutral Territory: Gender in an Alternate Reality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
While the virtual world derives many of its attributes from the real world, the possibility of a neutral gender appears to confirm the idea that the virtual and real worlds are separate entities.
By logging on with a neutral screen name, a user effectively blocks others from determining his or her gender.
As one grows used to judging others based on what they have to say instead of their appearance, the notion of neutrality is poised to be transferred to offline exchanges as well.

 Motoring Answers: Neutral territory
Two Vauxhall agents blame the lack of asbestos in the brake pads, and suggest I change to neutral when stationary.
The car\'s engine idle speed may be too high, \'loading\' the brakes and transmission against each other excessively (it should be 800-900 rpm when warm, but there\'s no rev counter on a Merit, so it will need to be checked at a garage).
If you don\'t return the selector to neutral when stationary, the brakes and the transmission will tend to work against each other and the effect will be exaggerated if the idle speed is set too high.

 PCB floating another series on neutral territory -DAWN - Sport; June 7, 2002
KARACHI, June 6: The Pakistan cricket administrators, instead of trying to convince the Australians to visit this country in October, are once again toeing the old line of playing the series on neutral territory if the Aussies refuse to tour this part of the world in the backdrop of tension on the Pakistan border.
The Australian cricket season begins in October and if the series is played there, the Pakistani boys will be familiar with climatic and ground conditions, having played there before on a number of occasions.
The neutral territory will be as alien to Pakistan as to Australia, thus the home advantage will be nullified.

Jenn DeBarge-Goonan thought she knew what kind of colors to expect from a spring fashion show: bright shades of pink, yellow, and green that let you leave the colder months behind.
But upon visiting several spring runways at New York's Fashion Week, it became clear to her that those colors had by and large been replaced by neutral shades such as khaki, steely gray, and blue.
Leatrice Eiseman, director of the Pantone Color Institute, which produces a seasonal color report, said soft neutral tones and light pastels were considered by many designers as a ''retreat."
