Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from International Law: An Introductory Lecture Delivered 17 Oct, 1888, in the University of Cambridge The subject of International Law - I suspend for the moment the question how far it can be considered a science - comprises, as commonly understood, all that can be said with some degree of generality about human action not internal to a political body. Let it be the mutual action of political bodies, let it be action between one political body and one or more members of another, or let it be the action of a political body towards barbarians or savages not grouped in any such body - wherever such action can give rise to any general statement or judgment, there we have matter for International Law. Of this subject the department which stands lowest in philosophical order is descriptive, presenting a picture of facts which might be called geographical in a large sense of that term. It comprises a knowledge of the actual distribution of the world into states, with their boundaries, the statistics of their material strength and, so far as such can be obtained, of their moral strength, and their mutual relations as being either wholly independent or more or less subordinate one to another. Even when they fall within the class of independent states, the description is not complete till we have added a knowledge of the treaties which exist between them, such as those of alliance or neutrality, those which pledge them to take or abstain from taking any particular course of action in given contingencies, or those which establish on the territory of one an easement or servitude in favour of another. These are ideal boundaries, comparable to physical ones, and transgressed with equal ease, perhaps with less inconvenience when it is considered how unwisely they are often laid down.
