Why isn't Bhutan on here?-- Hipposcrashed ( talk) 03:32, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
How can the US be described as neutral in 1914-17 and 1939-41? It did everything possible to help the British Empire from the very beginning of both world wars, without actually declaring war on Germany. ( MarekValenti ( talk) 21:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC))
Ireland's neutrality is long disputed. ( MarekValenti ( talk) 21:37, 13 February 2017 (UTC))

According to Military operations of the European Union, the EU has engaged in foreign military interventions at least 30 times since 2002. Isn't that the textbook definition of non-neutrality? Why are we seeming to give the EU and its members a "pass" on this here, allowing them to still claim to be fully neutral while their forces are making foreign military interventions? I would recommend that all EU countries be moved to the "disputed or 'uncertain' neutrality" category, both on our map, and in our categorzation of them. How can they be sending out their troops to foreign military interventions while claiming to still be "neutral"? Scott P. ( talk) 06:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

I think that the light yellow and cyan colors on this world map are too bright, which makes the map less readable. I can recreate a colored world map. Everyone's opinion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.34.23.1 ( talk) 06:53, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Why is SFR Yugoslavia totally ignored in the article? SFR Yugoslavia after 1949 after the Stalin-Tito split initiated a foreign and military policy of neutrality, so much that it became the leading force of the Non-Alligned Movement, a movement which laid its foundations in neutrality and which was of high importance during most of the Cold War era. Besides cases such as Sweden or Switzerland, the Non-Alligned countries in which Yugoslavia had a leading role was basically the definition of neutrality. Some even considering it a Third Way, or Third Power, with other two being the Unites States and Soviet Union with its allies. Its a fact that Non-Alliegned movement is much neglected in present time, but totally ommiting Yugoslavia from this article becomes a major flaw. FkpCascais ( talk) 12:29, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

I feel like the map displayed on the article needs more explanation or should be deleted. The article states, "A neutral country is a state that is neutral towards belligerents in a specific war or holds itself as permanently neutral". The map merely states which color corresponds to which degree of neutrality for a country. Which specific war does the map show? Who are the belligerents? Why are some countries not colored? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darer101 ( talk • contribs) 18:39, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
There is no regulation of trade in terms of neutrality, no article in the Hague convention speaks to trade. If Portugal engaged in trade, it would actually not affect status of neutrality. From a "feeling" understanding of neutrality, this may be relevant, but from an actual definition, it is not. I think this should be removed or moved to some discussion section, if that is a thing. 78.72.87.250 ( talk) 13:13, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

why indonesia doesnt mention it in this article? despite indonesia has recently transformed into a neutral country. especially in the wake of fall of suharto. is indonesia a neutral country or not? 2404:8000:1027:85F6:9CE4:D84C:8192:D6F8 ( talk) 06:43, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
I have removed this sentence from the lead section:
Adopting a policy of neutrality is generally a strong security guarantee; credible neutrality has only been violated during the First and Second World Wars, as in the case of Belgium. [1]
At best a matter of opinion presented as an uncontroversial fact, it is not even supported by the cited source, and is historically inaccurate. It is easy to find violations of credible neutrality long before the 1st and 2nd World Wars.
If someone wants to start a new section on the objective security value of neutrality - a highly debated topic - they can do so, adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines about neutrality and reliable sources. Ttocserp 12:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC) Ttocserp 12:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
