De Iure Belli Ac Pacis

De Iure Belli Ac Pacis (On the Law of War and Peace), originally published in Latin in 1625, is a seminal work of international law by Hugo Grotius. This edition includes Grotius’ annotations, as well as his dissertation 'De Mari Libero' (On the Freedom of the Seas). A foundational text in the development of modern international legal thought, De Iure Belli Ac Pacis addresses the justification for war, the conduct of war, and the principles of peace. Grotius’s work is deeply rooted in natural law and reason, and it seeks to establish universal principles governing the relations between states. This edition, edited by Johannes Fredericus Gronovius and Jean Barbeyrac, offers valuable insights into the historical context and intellectual heritage of international law, making it an essential resource for scholars and students interested in the history of political thought and the laws of nations.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
