Synopsis
Excerpt from International Courts of Arbitration
In November, 1864, I had, at the request of General Banks, a long interview with Mr. Lincoln in which he questioned me, then lately returned from Europe, largely about trans-atlantic affairs. The Mexican Empire he ridiculed and said that he con sidered it a pasteboard concern on which we won' t waste a man nor a dollar. It will soon tumble to pieces and maybe, bring the other down with it.' In speaking of England, I suggested an arbitration court as possible at a future day. He thought it a very amiable idea, but not possible just now as the millennium is still a long way But he added: There is no possible risk of a quarrel with England as we have enough on our hands. One quarrel is enough for a nation or a man at a time.' As to the proposed court of arbitration he said Start your idea. It may make its way in time as it is a good one.' On arriving in Lon don, December esth, 64, I spoke of it to several friends, but found no one to treat it other than as a conceit of a well-meaning, weak-minded enthusiast, except Mr. Cobden to whom I wrote as he was out of town. From him I received more than one kind letter, and it was stated in the New York Tribune in a letter from Paris, though he never said so to me, that but for his untimely death, he would have brought the subject before the House of Commons.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of international courts of arbitration in the 19th century, focusing on the Alabama Claims dispute between the United States and Great Britain. The author traces the origins of international arbitration from medieval times to the 1871 Treaty of Washington, which established a tribunal to resolve the dispute. Through a detailed analysis of the negotiations and proceedings of the tribunal, the book provides valuable insights into the challenges and successes of international arbitration as a means of resolving international conflicts peacefully. The author argues that the Alabama Claims dispute marked a significant step forward in the development of international law and paved the way for the establishment of permanent international courts.
