Abstract
The Hague Conference was a key event in the development of international law before the First World War and mining was one of the most contentious subjects to be discussed there. Through exploring firstly why Britain attempted to ban mines at The Hague and secondly, why those attempts failed, it is possible to see how the competing issues of international law and military necessity interacted in this period.
