Lotus case
The ''Lotus'' case concerns a criminal trial which was the result of the 2 August 1926 collision between the S.S. ''Lotus'', a French steamship (or steamer), and the S.S. ''Boz-Kurt'', a Turkish steamer, in a region just north of Mytilene (Greece). As a result of the accident, eight Turkish nationals aboard the ''Boz-Kurt'' drowned when the vessel was torn apart by the ''Lotus''.
==Background==
On 7 September 1927 the case was presented before the Permanent Court of International Justice, the judicial branch of the League of Nations, the predecessor of the United Nations.
The issue at stake was Turkey's jurisdiction to try Monsieur Demons, the French officer on watch duty at the time of the collision. Since the collision occurred on the high seas, France claimed that the state whose flag the vessel flew had exclusive jurisdiction over the matter. France proffered case law, through which it attempted to show at least state practice in support of its position. However, those cases both involved ships that flew the flag of the flag state and were thus easily distinguishable. The Court, therefore, rejected France's position stating that there was no rule to that effect in international law.
