Peace Treaties and International Law in European History available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the formation of the modern law of nations, peace treaties played a pivotal role. Many basic principles and rules that governed and still govern relations between states were introduced and elaborated in the great peace treaties from the Renaissance onwards. Nevertheless, until recently few scholars have studied these primary sources of the law of nations from a juridical perspective. In this edited collection, specialists from all over Europe, including legal and diplomatic historians, international lawyers and an International Relations theorist, analyse peace treaty practice from the late fifteenth century to the Peace of Versailles of 1919. Important emphasis is given to the doctrinal debate about peace treaties and the influence of older, Roman and medieval concepts on modern practices. This book goes back further in time beyond the epochal Peace of Treaties of Westphalia of 1648 and this broader perspective allows for a reassessment of the role of the sovereign state in the modern international legal order.

The Oxford Handbook of the History of International Law available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Oxford Handbook of the History of International Law provides an authoritative and original overview of the origins, concepts, and core issues of international law. The first comprehensive Handbook on the history of international law, it is a truly unique contribution to the literature of international law and relations. Pursuing both a global and an interdisciplinary approach, the Handbook brings together some sixty eminent scholars of international law, legal history, and global history from all parts of the world. Covering international legal developments from the 15th century until the end of World War II, the Handbook consists of over sixty individual chapters which are arranged in six parts. The book opens with an analysis of the principal actors in the history of international law, namely states, peoples and nations, international organisations and courts, and civil society actors. Part Two is devoted to a number of key themes of the history of international law, such as peace and war, the sovereignty of states, hegemony, religion, and the protection of the individual person. Part Three addresses the history of international law in the different regions of the world (Africa and Arabia, Asia, the Americas and the Caribbean, Europe), as well as 'encounters' between non-European legal cultures (like those of China, Japan, and India) and Europe which had a lasting impact on the body of international law. Part Four examines certain forms of 'interaction or imposition' in international law, such as diplomacy (as an example of interaction) or colonization and domination (as an example of imposition of law). The classical juxtaposition of the civilized and the uncivilized is also critically studied. Part Five is concerned with problems of the method and theory of history writing in international law, for instance the periodisation of international law, or Eurocentrism in the traditional historiography of international law. The Handbook concludes with a Part Six, entitled "People in Portrait", which explores the life and work of twenty prominent scholars and thinkers of international law, ranging from Muhammad al-Shaybani to Sir Hersch Lauterpacht. The Handbook will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of international law. It provides historians with new perspectives on international law, and increases the historical and cultural awareness of scholars of international law. It is the standard reference work for the global history of international law.

Three Centuries of Treaties of Peace and Their Teaching available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A Guide for Diplomats Published at the End of the First World War. While writing this book in 1917, Phillimore anticipated the difficulties that would face diplomats at the conclusion of the First World War. Their task would be, he thought, "a Congress of Vienna, a Hague Conference, and a Geneva Conference rolled into one." Three Centuries of Treaties of Peace and Their Teaching, a historical analysis of treaties enacted from 1582 to 1913, was intended to provide the diplomatic community with "some guidance for the future, that we should thereby acquire some explanation of the condition of Europe on the threshold of the present war, and see the position to which previous diplomatic settlements had brought us" (xii). "The work as a broad, scholarly but condense revue of the peace treaties of three centuries has undoubted interest and value." --CHARLES NOBLE GREGORY, American Journal of International Law 12 (1918) 679. SIR WALTER GEORGE FRANK PHILLIMORE [1845-1929] was a Judge of the High Court Justice from 1897 to 1913, a Lord Justice of Appeal from 1913 to 1916, and in 1918 was raised to the peerage. As an authority on ecclesiastical law and international law Lord Phillimore carried on the tradition of his family. He edited the Second Edition of The Ecclesiastical Law of the Church of England and the Third Edition of Vol. IV of International Law, both by his father, Sir Robert Phillimore. He was President of the International Law Association from 1905-1908. In 1918 he was appointed chairman of the naval prize tribunal. He was the English representative on the commission which sat at The Hague (1920) to prepare the scheme of a permanent Court of International Justice, and was also chairman of the Foreign Office committee on the League of Nations.
