Åland convention
Åland is demilitarised, meaning that no military forces may be stationed on the islands and that they may not be fortified. Åland is also neutralised, and must therefore be kept outside armed conflict in the event of war. The demilitarisation of Åland is based on multiple international treaties as well as on customary international law.
