A British propaganda poster of World War I, concerning the guarantee of Belgian neutrality

A guarantee ensures the fulfilment of international obligations by a state promising to help another state fulfill its obligations when they are hindered by a third party.[1]

Previously, other methods to ensure fulfillment of international obligations, like oaths or the receiving of hostages, were also called guarantees.[1]

One example of such an obligation can be neutrality.[1] For example, before World War I, the neutrality of Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg had been guaranteed.[1]
