A neutral country is one that chooses not to take part in a War between other countries in international relations.[1] International law allows a country to remain neutral during a period of war between two or more states.[1] When a country declares it is neutral, it cannot allow any part of its territory to become a base for one side.[1] It may not construct warships, recruit soldiers or organize military expeditions on behalf of one belligerent.[1] It is also called "armed neutrality" when declaring itself neutral during a war.[2] This is not the same as "neutralization", or permanent neutrality.[2] A neutral country is also different from the neutrality claimed by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or United Nations peacekeeping groups.[2]
