As a prominent figure in legal theory and a member of the British delegation to the League's discussions, his insights are rooted in firsthand experience and a profound understanding of the geopolitical forces at play. Oppenheim's commitment to establishing legal frameworks for peace underscores the urgency of his arguments, reflecting his hope for lasting international cooperation. This book is a must-read for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the foundations of international relations and legal studies. Oppenheim's lectures not only illuminate the historical context of the League but also provide timeless insights into the perpetual struggle for global governance and peace, making it an essential resource for understanding contemporary international issues.
