International law provides authority for self-defense of warships against illegal attacks on the high seas (including the foreign contiguous zone and exclusive economic zone) and for taking all means used for self-protection as far as they are necessary and proportionate. The situation is far more complex when a warship is located in sea areas in which another state enjoys sovereignty, thus in foreign national waters (internal waters, territorial sea, archipelagic waters). Any kind of use of weapons or force within these waters might first be considered as a violation of sovereignty and thus is unlawful. Therefore use of military force at sea in peace is governed by two categories of rules: Standing Rules of Engagement (SROE) outside the territory of home state and Standing Rules for the Use of Force (SRUF) within the territory of home state. Both regulations as essential for the Navy, establish fundamental policies and procedures governing the actions to be taken by warship commanders during military operations, contingencies, and routine military functions including Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection.
