Excerpt from The Development of International Law After the World War In accordance with its original character, this book offers only a survey of the future problems of international law. In this work I have given merely some directing outlines. I have been obliged to forgo entering upon the individual problems here, since this would have claimed materially more space and also more time. But I also believe that m the present hour it 18 above all necessary to call to mind once more the fundamental tendencies in the development of international law. The problems to be solved for international law in the future are neither simple nor small in number. We may rejoice if, upon the conclusion of peace, we succeed in obtaining an agreement on the basic principles. The future work will, however, take decades.

Excerpt from A New Principle of International Law In the midst of the dreadful world events one asks oneself: How much longer? How much longer shall this slaughter of human beings -last? Until one side or the other has been vanquished? Thus have wars ended up to the present. But the peace, which then followed, was generally not of long duration. Indeed a peace, to which the vanquished have been driven, gives them no rest, but on the contrary incites to fresh conflict. It has always been so up to now, and so will it be, if in this case also, peace is imposed upon the vanquished.

Excerpt from Notes on International Law The modern conception of a state occupying a definite area of territory has gradually arisen out of the settlements made by the Teutonic tribes on the wreck of the Roman Empire. Scattered Teutonic tribes gathered into larger wholes, nations. They were migratory nations, and the idea Of sovereignty was not connected with domain over any particular part of the earth's surface. Alaric was king of the Goths wherever they might be, on the banks of the Tagus, the Tiber, or the Danube. These conquering tribes were at first simply encamped on the wreck of the Roman Empire, but gradually, by what is called the process of feudalization the elec tive chiefs became hereditary lords of given areas Of land. This idea did not become dominant, however, until after the breaking up of the Empire of Cha'rles the Great, out of the fragments of which arose most of the modern states of Europe. The comple tion of the transition from personal to territorial sovereignty is marked by the accession of the Capetian Dynasty in France.

Excerpt from Handbook of International Law T hus, after nearly three hundred years from the founda tions laid by Grotius, the father of International Law, in 1625, there rises a worthy structure and in a single decade the advance made in centuries is surpassed. Where earlier writ ers referred to philosophical or religious sanctions to fortify their expression of hope that justice might prevail among the nations, the writers of the present day refer to the sanction of international conventions embodying the realization of these hopes. Hubner, a century and a half ago, suggested an international prize court; in 1907 a convention for establish ing such a court was drawn up, and is a typical example of the modern realization of the hopes of the early writers.
