The Rights of War and Peace establishes a system of international law based on the concept of natural law. Natural law, as Grotius describes it, is law that applies to all people, regardless of country or nationality. This law establishes concepts like "justifiable war" and "natural justice."

He was a philosopher and Christian apologist now remembered for his work in establishing a philosophical basis for international law.
