This article analyses specific provisions within the Greek legal order that guide the naval commander’s conduct during an armed conflict at sea. It demonstrates that these provisions do not adequately satisfy the requirement to ensure respect for the law of naval warfare and to contribute to the discontinuance, during such times, of the violations of international rules on the assistance of persons in distress at sea by State organs. In this manner, it points to the necessity of an extensive discussion among legal scholars about the dissemination of international humanitarian law in Greece. This process could lead to the establishment of a comprehensive national military manual that would demonstrate the spirit of abidance to the obligation to respect and ensure respect for the rules of this law in Greece’s maritime realm during peace and warfare, and play an instrumental role in the enhancement of safety for persons and objects at sea during naval conflict.

本文分析了希腊法律秩序中指导海军指挥官在海上武装冲突中的行为的具体规定。它表明，这些规定不能充分满足确保尊重海战法的要求，并有助于在此期间停止违反关于援助海上遇险人员的国际规则的行为。通过这种方式，它指出了法律学者对在希腊传播国际人道法进行广泛讨论的必要性。这一过程可能导致制定一份全面的国家军事手册，以展示在和平与战争期间在希腊海洋领域遵守并确保尊重该法律规则的义务的精神，
