A quick definition of right of visitation and search:

The right of visitation and search is a rule in international law that allows a country to stop and inspect ships on the high seas to see if they are carrying anything that could be captured. This means that a country can stop any ship, even if it belongs to a neutral country, and search it to make sure it is not carrying anything that could be used against them. However, they cannot destroy the ship without a full examination, unless the people on the ship resist. This rule is also called the right of visit and search or the right of visitation.

A more thorough explanation:

The right of visitation and search is a term used in international law. It refers to the right of a country to stop, visit, and examine ships on the high seas to determine if they are carrying goods that could be captured. This right is especially important during times of war.

For example, if a country is at war and suspects that a neutral ship is carrying weapons or other supplies to the enemy, they have the right to stop and search the ship. This is to ensure that the neutral country is not aiding the enemy.

However, this right does not give the country the authority to destroy the ship without a full examination. The crew of the ship must also not actively resist the search.

The right of visitation and search is also known as the right of search, right of visit, right of visitation, or right of visitation and search.
