1646 edition with scholarly apparatus and an extensive introduction.
The final edition produced by the author, it contains material that
does not appear in earlier editions. First published in Paris in
1625, it established the system of modern public international law,
based on the concept of “droit naturel,” a morality-based law that
superseded the laws of individuals or nations. Though based on
Christian natural law, Grotius advanced the novel argument that his
system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this
regard Grotius pointed to the future by moving international law in
a secular direction.

* Phillipson addressed the future of international law at a time
when many questioned its validity. Although he acknowledges that the
war made a shambles of international law, he is hopeful that
memories of the war’s human and material costs when the fighting
ends will lead to a renaissance of international law. Indeed, he
predicts that nations will work to enforce it through a “World
Tribunal.” His conclusions are based an a careful analysis of the
war’s causes, its immediate effects on combatants, non-combatants
and prisoners of war.
