{{Politics of Belgium}}
[[Belgium]] is a country in Europe and member of major international organizations like the [[European Union]] and [[NATO]] which are both headquartered in [[Brussels]], Belgium.

As a federal state, the [[Communities, regions and language areas of Belgium|Communities and Regions]] have their own foreign relations and are able to conclude treaties themselves.

==Initial neutrality==
Because of its location at the crossroads of [[Western Europe]], Belgium has historically been the route of invading armies from its larger neighbours. With virtually defenceless borders, Belgium has traditionally sought to avoid domination by the more powerful nations which surround it through a policy of mediation. The [[Concert of Europe]] sanctioned the creation of [[Belgium]] in 1831 on the condition that the country remain strictly [[Neutral country|neutral]].

This policy of neutrality ended after the experience of German occupation during [[World War I]]. In the years preceding [[World War II]], Belgium tried to return to a policy of neutrality, but once again, Germany invaded the country. In 1948, Belgium signed the [[Treaty of Brussels 1948|Treaty of Brussels]] with the [[United Kingdom]], [[France]], the [[Netherlands]], and [[Luxembourg]], and one year later became one of the founding members of the [[Atlantic Alliance]].

==Belgium's federalism and international relations==
A peculiar feature of Belgian [[federalism]] is the fact that the country's [[Communities, regions and language areas of Belgium|Communities and Regions]] maintain their own international relations, including the conclusion of treaties. Thus, there are a number of bilateral Dutch-Flemish international institutions, such as the [[Dutch Language Union]] or the institutions for the control of the river [[Scheldt]], in which only [[Flanders]] takes part. Likewise, only the [[French Community of Belgium]] takes part in [[La Francophonie]]. For instance, UNV's Online Volunteering service received a financial contribution from the Federal Public Service (FPS) Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of the Kingdom of Belgium for the years 2013 and 2014 to support the outreach to the francophone world and the promotion of volunteerism.<ref>[https://onlinevolunteering.org/en/org/about/partners.html UNV Online Volunteering service, Partners]</ref> 

==International disputes==
Belgium has resorted several times to international dispute settlement, notably in cases at both the [[International Court of Justice]] and the [[Permanent Court of Arbitration]] with the Netherlands concerning the diversion of water from the Meuse (1937) the frontier at the [[enclave]] of [[Baarle-Hertog]] (1959) and the revitalisation of the so-called [[Iron Rhine]] railroad (2005). There have been other points of contention with the Netherlands, such as the deepening of the river Scheldt or the route for the high-speed rail link between Brussels and Amsterdam. This does however not influence the overall amicable character of Belgo-Dutch relationship.

Other former cases at international courts between Belgium and other countries are&nbsp;— in chronological order&nbsp;— the [[Oscar Chinn Case]] of 1934 (with the [[United Kingdom]], the Borghgrave Case of 1937 (with Spain), the cases of the electricity company of Sofia of 1939 (with [[Bulgaria]]), the case of the "société commerciale de Belgique" of 1939 (with [[Greece]]), the case concerning the [[Barcelona Traction Company]] of 1970 (with Spain), the arrest warrant case of 2002 (with the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]]) and the case concerning legality of use of force of 2004 (with [[Serbia and Montenegro]]).

The arrest warrant case of 2002 was caused by the application of Belgium's so called [[genocide under municipal laws|genocide law]], providing for [[universal jurisdiction]] over the gravest international crimes. The same law stirred relations with, amongst others, [[Israel]] and the [[United States]], since complaints were filed against high-ranking politicians and officials of both countries. The law was therefore repealed in 2003.
