Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hague Peace Conferences: And Other International Conferences Concerning the Laws and Usages of War, Texts of Conventions With Commentaries In 1904 I published translations of the Declarations of Paris and St Petersburg, the Convention of Geneva, 1864, the draft Brussels Declaration, 1874, and the Conventions signed at the First Peace Conference, together with a short introduction and a few notes. I did so chiefly for the sake of students attending my lectures in Cambridge, as, at that time, there was not to my knowledge any one book in which the English texts of these important international documents could be found. The present work contains in addition to the French texts of the foregoing (except the Brussels Declaration) the French and English versions of the Geneva Convention of 1906, the Final Act and Conventions of the Second Peace Conference, 1907, and the London Naval Conference of 1909. I have also included in my commentary on Convention No. 10 of the Hague Conference, 1907 (10 H. C. 1907), a translation of the Convention signed at the Hague on the 21st Dec. 1904, exempting hospital ships from state port dues and taxes in the ports of the signatory Powers. Great Britain is not a party to this Convention. The Conventions of the First Conference as amended by the Second are printed in parallel columns, the changes being shown in italics, and cross-references occur throughout. The French texts have been taken from the official sources, and in the case of the Hague Conventions of 1907 they have throughout been carefully compared with the texts contained in La Deuxieme Conference Internationale de la Paix published by the Dutch Government. As regards the translations, I have made the British official translations the basis of my work: I have however in nearly all cases compared them with those contained either in Mr E. A. Whittuck´s International Documents, Professor James Brown Scott´s Texts of the Peace Conferences at the Hague, 1899 and 1907 (which contains the official United States translations), Professor T. E. Holland´s Laws of war on land, Dr Westlake´s International Law, War, or General G. B. Davis´s Elements of International Law. In the case of the Declaration of London, I have adhered to the official translation with a few exceptions.
