This contribution highlights the measures that a Dutch company can take to protect itself and its assets in war conditions. During a war it may be necessary to not only keep assets safe from the long arm of the enemy (often occupier), but also from sanctions (such as sequestration or confiscation) taken by friendly states in the free world against assets on their territory that are owned by companies that are deemed to be under the influence of the enemy and therefore considered ‘enemy property’. How can security measures be implemented in the short term if appropriate?
