Since I'm not aware of anything legitimizing the blockade in International Law, I'm afraid that the case is unarguable. The fleet is by all means allowed to break a blockade which is illegal from the get go.
As the blockade is illegal, it is not bound by the same rules as legally sanctioned blockades. Therefore, the Trade Federation can not use its blockade as a valid argument for action.
