The Rights Of War And Peace by Hugo Grotius
On the Law of Nature and of Nations
A foundational treatise on international law that grounds the rules of war and peace in natural law and reason, it distinguishes just causes for conflict, the legitimate authority to wage it, and ethical limits on conduct, including proportionality, good faith, and consideration for noncombatants and property. It also examines sovereignty, restitution and punishment, the binding force of contracts and treaties, and the rights of neutrals, aiming to regularize relations among states and secure a more orderly peace.
