💎 War Obviated by an International Police - Essays on International Law and the Prevention of War - First Edition, 1915

Published during the First World War, this volume reflects contemporary debates on peace, international governance and the development of legal frameworks capable of resolving conflicts between nations. Written by contributors from various countries, the essays offer valuable insight into the intellectual foundations of modern international law and the ideas that would later influence institutions such as the League of Nations and other international organizations.

Today, the work remains an important historical document for scholars of legal history, political thought and international relations, illustrating how jurists and thinkers of the early twentieth century sought alternatives to armed conflict through law and international cooperation.
