The Future of International Law (Classic Reprint)

In a note prepared in 1915 for the English edition, Professor Oppenheim stated the circumstances under which his tractate on The Future of International Law was undertaken and published. This little work, he said, originally written in German, was first published in 1911, under the title Die Zukunft des Volkerrechts (L eipzig :W. Engelmann), as a contribution to the Festschrift offered to Professor Karl Binding. Events which have since happened make it necessary to call the readers attention to the date of original publication. The translation into English has been made by Dr. John Pawley Bate. In accordance with the wish of the author some slight modifications of the original text were made before translation. The numbers of the paragraphs and the marginal summaries do not appear in the original. As was his wont with all his publications, Professor Oppenheim had sent the undersigned a copy of the German text. The value of this little work ,as its author called it, was at once apparent, and he yielded to the suggestion that it be put into English, in order that it might be available to English readers in the four quarters of the globe.
