Synopsis
Excerpt from The Law of Nations: Or, Principles of the Law of Nature, Applied to the Conduct and Affairs of Nations and Sovereigns
Many years have elapsed since the original work was pub lished, lon g before the invaluable decisions of Sir William Scott, Sir C. Robinson, and Sir J ohn N ichol, and other emi nent J udges in the Courts of Admiralty, and Prize and other Courts; and the last edition, upon which any care was be stowed, was published in A. D. 1797; since which time, and especially during the last general war, many most important rules respecting the Law of Nations were established. The object of the present Editor has, therefore, been to collect and condense, in numerous notes, the modem rules and decisions, and to fortify the positions in the text by references to other au thors of eminence, and by which he hopes that this edition will be found of more practical utility, without interfering with the text, or materially increasing its size.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate realm of international relations, exploring the principles and guidelines that govern interactions between nations and sovereigns. It distinguishes between the natural law of nations, rooted in universal principles of justice and reason, and the voluntary law of nations, shaped by customs, treaties, and mutual agreements. Emerging from a historical context where the concept of the law of nations was often intertwined with natural law, this book carves out a distinct space for the study of international relations. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the unique nature of sovereign states as moral persons, subject to obligations and rights that differ from those of individuals. The author delves into themes of national sovereignty, forms of government, and the duties of nations towards themselves and each other. Issues of war and peace, trade and commerce, and the balance of power are explored, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities of the international order. By illuminating the principles that should guide the conduct of nations, this book offers valuable insights for statesmen, diplomats, and anyone interested in the dynamics of international affairs. Its enduring relevance lies in its ability to shed light on the timeless challenges and opportunities that arise in the pursuit of a just and harmonious world order.
