By the recognition of belligerency the recognizing state must treat both belligerents alike. It can no longer render aid to the former insurgents or the parent state without violating the law of neutrality, nor, before recognition of belligerency, render aid to the insurgents without violating the law of non-intervention (Garner, “Questions of International Law in the Spanish Civil War,” this JOURNAL, Vol. 31 (1937), p. 66), though it could render aid to the parent state.

4 It may be noted that some writers believe that a right of quasi-blockade inheres in the parent state, which does not connote recognition of belligerency or necessarily have that effect.
