Mines are an important weapon in modern naval warfare, playing a crucial role in the execution of maritime blockade tasks by armed forces. Facing potential future maritime armed conflicts, how to implement a maritime blockade using mines and how to counter enemy mines will be essential challenges in naval battles. A thorough understanding and mastery of the legal issues involved in mine warfare is a necessary prerequisite for the scientific use of mines in blockades. Additionally, conducting operations strictly in accordance with the law helps belligerents gain more international public opinion support during maritime blockade operations. This paper mainly focuses on the international legal rules related to the use of mines in maritime blockades, exploring legal issues that may arise during blockade missions and proposing targeted countermeasures and suggestions.
