International Law. A Treatise. Volume 1 (of 2)

This volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles governing peace among nations, written for students beginning their study of international law. The author, a seasoned professor, has revised the original text to incorporate recent developments up to the early 1910s, while keeping the layout compact and readable. Detailed notes, a rich bibliography, and clear explanations make the complex subject approachable.

New chapters address emerging issues such as the legal status of river utilization, wireless telegraphy on the high seas, and the regulation of underwater mines and tunnels. The work also examines landmark cases like the Casa Blanca incident and discusses the evolving role of international courts, including the International Prize Court and proposals for a permanent Court of Justice. Throughout, the author strives for elementary language without sacrificing depth, inviting readers from diverse backgrounds to engage with the full breadth of international law.
