	droit d'approche

	"The right of 'approach' and the right to 'hail' is universally admitted, if the approaching vessel can get near enough; but that does not and cannot involve the right to stop or detain the vessel to be hailed for that purpose. The privilege of visiting a ship may be accorded by the ship to be visited or not, just as the master of a house may accept or decline the visit of his neighbor."
	from: The Right of Search, and the Right of Visit, The New York Times, April 17, 1855
