Peace Through Law

Kelsen Hans. Peace Through Law. Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press 1944. xii 155 pp. Reprinted 2001 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-103-8. Cloth. $60. Kelsen [1881-1973] departs from his theories on pure law and here proposes a formula for international peace. He proffers peace guaranteed by compulsory adjudication of international disputes (Part I): the formation of a world court with the authority to resolve international conflicts and peace guaranteed by individual responsibility for violations of international law (Part II): that individual statesmen take personal moral and legal responsibility for war crimes and other acts of violation committed by their country.
