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.
