Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book details the First and Second Stages in the development of the Law of Nations, as international law was known in the 17th and 18th centuries. The author explores the disconnect between Grotius' doctrine of duties—which defined state crime and argued for the duty and right of other nations to punish the perpetrators—and the writers who followed, who reinterpreted his ideas to justify unrestrained sovereign power and the use of war for national gain. This led to a distorted view of the Law of Nations which offered no remedy for international conflict or oppression. However, the author also highlights the enduring influence of Grotius' ideas, which inspired statesmen and reformers to challenge the Second Law of Nations and work towards a more just and peaceful world order. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
