Excerpt from The Development of International Law After the World War In accordance with its original character, this book offers only a survey of the future problems of international law. In this work I have given merely some directing outlines. I have been obliged to forgo entering upon the individual problems here, since this would have claimed materially more space and also more time. But I also believe that m the present hour it 18 above all necessary to call to mind once more the fundamental tendencies in the development of international law. The problems to be solved for international law in the future are neither simple nor small in number. We may rejoice if, upon the conclusion of peace, we succeed in obtaining an agreement on the basic principles. The future work will, however, take decades.

Excerpt from International Law and the Great War My aim in the present work is to give a systematic account, from the point of view of international law, of most of the questions and incidents that have so far arisen in the Great War. Since the beginning of last August international law has been subjected to severe trials. I have endeavoured to ascertain to what extent it has emerged from its ordeals inviolate, to what extent homage has been honourably paid to it, in what respects it has suffered hurt and its behests have been disregarded. The number of violations that we have to examine is large. Indeed, so many have been committed, that it seems as though the whole fabric of international law has been demolished, and the sacred law of humanity - to which it is indissolubly joined - rejected and spurned. But, happily, not all the belligerents have contributed to bring about this deplorable result. For we shall find that nearly all the infractions of law are to be laid to the account of Germany. It is obvious, therefore, that in an undertaking of this kind I must necessarily pay considerable attention to the theories of the law of war and of international law in general advanced by German writers, to the views held in German military circles, and, especially, to the practices of the German forces in this unparalleled conflict.
