Synopsis

Navigate the legal map of postwar order and the search for enduring justice.

This concise volume gathers Robert Lansing’s insights on treaties, sovereignty, and how international law should shape a safer world after the Great War. Readers will encounter clear arguments about nationalism, dual notions of justice, and the practical challenges of building a codified system for peace.

From the role of the nation in treaty-making to the duties of international courts, this work offers a authoritative look at the legal foundations proposed for a new world order. It surveys the Hague tradition, the League of Nations, and the real-world questions raised by mandates, sovereignty, and accountability for leaders and states alike.

• How treaties define responsibility between nations and the limits of national power
• Debates on how international justice can curb aggression without sacrificing practical state interests
• Arguments for codifying international law through conferences and tribunals
• Case references to the postwar trial discussions and the Kaiser's accountability

Ideal for readers of legal history, international law, and the shaping of the modern world order.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Some Legal Questions of the Peace Conference: Address

I might expand the list of subjects for consideration suggested by the Treaty of Peace which will invite the' learning and wisdom of those who will, I sincerely hope, be charged with the codification of the principles of international law. Even if I subject myself to the charge of repetition, let me say that I most earnestly advocate the formulation of such a code by an international conference of jurists and publicists. With a definite standard of legal rights sanctioned by the nations the administration of international relations as well as the administration of international justice will become more con sistent and less a prey to expediency and political opportunism.
