An International Court of Justice

"An International Court of Justice" presents a compelling argument for the establishment of a permanent international court dedicated to resolving disputes between nations. Authored by James Brown Scott and presented to the Netherland Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1914, this work advocates for a judicial body capable of interpreting and enforcing international law, thereby promoting global peace and stability.

The letter and memorandum contained within this volume outline the structure, function, and necessity of such a court, emphasizing its role in preventing conflicts and fostering cooperation among countries. Scott's insights, informed by his deep understanding of international law and diplomacy, provide a historical perspective on the aspirations for a more just and peaceful world order. This publication offers valuable insights into the early 20th-century vision for international justice and its continued relevance in contemporary global affairs.
