International law III Lecture Origin of International law:- The modern study of international law starts in the early 19th century, but its origins go back at least to the 16th century, and Alberico Gentili, Francisco de Vitoria and Hugo Grotius, the "fathers of international law.“ International law has developed historically and philosophically over many centuries, in many cultures. It even existed in ancient societies.
(^) International Law is of very recent origin. The development of International Law IS the result of the development of international relations. In his famous book, international Law’, Professor T.J. Lawrence, who has made a special study of its decent developments, has divided it into three periods:- Origin of European Civilization last begin of Roman Empire Origin of Roman Empire Last in Reformation Origin in 1648 to the Present time
2 nd (^) Period - The supremacy of Pope was questioned. Pope’s interference in the internal matters of different states annoyed the European rulers. The rulers abolished the authority of Pope and organis Wars were declared by these nation-states against one anothered nation-states. States should observe the Law of Reason while dealing with other states on international level. It was resulted in requirement of proper law through which all the country came together and war would not happen.
(^) 3 rd^ Period - The third period extends from the date of Reformation up to the present time. Hugo Grotius’s book, “On the Law of War and Peace” (1625), is a notable contribution of this period. He laid stress on the two fundamental doctrines: All States are equally sovereign and independent. The jurisdiction of the state is absolute over its entire area International Law of which we are aware in modern times is essentially the product of this period. Wheateon and Oppenheim are more prominent among the political thinkers who have expressed their views on International Law.
