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.
