Produktbeschreibung
On The Law Of War And Peace is a comprehensive treatise on international law, written by the renowned Dutch scholar and jurist, Hugo Grotius. First published in 1625, the book is considered a seminal work in the field of international law and has been influential in shaping the principles of modern international law.The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the nature of war and its causes, while the second part focuses on the legal framework governing the conduct of war. The third and final part discusses the principles of peace, including the role of treaties, diplomacy, and the use of force in maintaining international order.Throughout the book, Grotius argues that international law is based on natural law, which is derived from reason and common sense. He emphasizes the importance of justice, fairness, and respect for human rights in the conduct of war and peace, and he advocates for the establishment of a system of international law to regulate the behavior of nations.On The Law Of War And Peace has been praised for its clarity, logic, and practicality, and it has been widely read and studied by scholars and practitioners of international law. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the principles and practices of international law.But as in those early times, when men were few, and aggressions rare, there was less occasion for examples, God restrained by an express commandment the impulse of nature which appeared lawful, he forbad any one to kill the murderer, at the same time prohibiting all intercourse with him, even so far as not to touch him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
