Grotius and Insolvency Grotiana Pub Date : 2023-12-30 Maurits den Hollander
This article considers Hugo Grotius’s ideas on a specific topic of commercial law, analysing his position and potential contributions to early modern Dutch insolvency legislation. It might be questioned how ‘Hollandic’ Grotius’s interpretations of legal solutions for insolvency as presented in the Inleidinge tot de Hollandsche Rechts-Geleerdheid actually were. Grotius’s treatment of cessie van goede

Grotius and Limited Liability Grotiana Pub Date : 2023-12-30 Dave De ruysscher
Grotius’s ideas on proportionate and limited liability, as mentioned in the Inleidinge and De iure belli ac pacis, were novel in comparison to the civilian doctrine of his time. Grotius drew from sources of local law and statutes regarding maritime law but was nonetheless original in his interpretations. Grotius proposed to consider the liability of co-owners of ships (reders, exercitores), who acted

Grotius’s Via Media Grotiana Pub Date : 2023-12-30 Sebastián Contreras Aguirre
Grotius’s theory of the foundations of law and morality follows a sort of middle way between rationalism and voluntarism. Grotius, far from both extremes, defends both the normative force of the will and the directive power of practical reason. On this basis, he explains that reason serves as the formal cause of law and the will as the efficient cause. Now, the command of the will alone is not yet

Representation in Business: Grotius’s Inleidinge and the Ius Commune Tradition in the Low Countries Grotiana Pub Date : 2023-12-30 Wouter Druwé
In his Inleidinge tot de Hollandsche Rechts-geleerdheid, Hugo Grotius wrote an accessible introductory overview of Hollandic law, in which he combined insights from the learned law (ius commune) with the particular law of Holland. The Inleidinge was read by generations of Dutch law students, and would thus become very influential in the Roman-Dutch tradition. This contribution studies how the topic

Grotian Moments and Appeals to Authority in Law and History Grotiana Pub Date : 2023-08-05 Matthew Cleary, Pablo Nicolas Dufour, Emanuele Salerno, Mark Somos
This article examines whether the publication of Hugo Grotius’s De iure belli ac pacis (ibp) constitutes a Grotian Moment. After a brief sketch of ibp’s early reception, we focus on the book’s uses in teaching, identifying and creating international law in the twenty-first century, and that ibp’s authority looms large in State practice, in opinio iuris, and in both scholarly and applied understandings

As our contemporary international order seems to come apart at its seams in the trenches of Eastern Europe, many observers have sought solace in the promises made by the historical crucible in which this order was forged. It was, after all, in the aftermath of a previous global conflagration that a planetary constellation of statespeople attempted to create an architecture that would save ‘succeeding

Nuremberg and Grotius’s Scholarship as Non-Grotian Moments: On Novelty-Bolstering in International Law Grotiana Pub Date : 2023-08-05 Ziv Bohrer
Since its 1980s coining by Richard Falk, the ‘Grotian Moment’ concept has garnered popularity in international law discourse, denoting a rapid, paradigm-shifting development in international law. This concept builds upon a prevalent recollection of two past events as such paradigm-shifts. The first is, obviously, the ‘original’ Grotian Moment, anointing Grotius as the Father of International Law, mainly

Hugo’s Moments, Maria’s Everyday Chores? Discords in the Search for Grotian Moments for Women’s Rights in International Law Grotiana Pub Date : 2023-08-05 Immi Tallgren
This chapter would have liked to invite its readers on an exciting but breath-taking journey through the historical landscapes of international law, since ‘time immemorial’ a male-centred and, until the 1990s, almost exclusively male intellectual tradition and professional practice – at least in the eyes of the currently dominating historiography. Helas, the ambition had to be downscaled into a few

Emerging State Practice on Maritime Limits: A Grotian Moment Unveiling a Hidden Truth? Grotiana Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Snjólaug Árnadóttir
The legal order of the oceans has seen rapid developments and paradigm shifts. At least one of them has been described as a textbook example of a Grotian Moment: the emergence of the customary international law on the continental shelf, stemming from increased demand for oil and gas, coupled with technological advances and the Truman Proclamation of 1945. Now, eighty years later, the law of the sea

This article provides new information on the printing and readership history of the fifth edition of De iure belli ac pacis. Building on our earlier research on the way that the dispute between Willem Janszoon Blaeu and Johannes Janssonius influenced the publication of the 1631 edition of the text, this article studies how Blaeu harnessed his position to make the 1632 edition more reputable than the

Hugo Grotius’s De iure belli ac pacis: A Report on the Worldwide Census of the Fourth Edition (1632, Janssonius) Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-12-30 Edward Jones Corredera, Pablo Nicolas Dufour, Lara Muschel, Emanuele Salerno, Timothy Twining, Mark Somos
This is the fourth instalment of our census and study of the reception of the first nine editions of De iure belli ac pacis. Here we focus on the two versions that Johannes Janssonius issued in 1632, one with a copy of Mare liberum attached to it. This report outlines the place of the 1632 Janssonius edition in the context of his long-running rivalry with the printer Willem Blaeu and his firm. It then

Ancient Geographers and Modern Travelogues in the Early Seventeenth Century. The Difference between Hugo Grotius’s Bewys van den waren Godsdienst (1622) and De veritate religionis christianae (1627–40) Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Silke-Petra Bergjan
The Bewys van den waren Godsdienst and De veritate religionis Christianae originated against the background of Grotius’s familiarity with classical literature. To understand the innovative impact of these writings, the historical method applied must be considered. Grotius did not rely on authorities, but was compiling historical witnesses for the three religions. The availability and visibility of

Corruption in International Law: Illusions of a Grotian Moment Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Simona Ross, Mark Somos
Has there already been a Grotian Moment for corruption? If not, what would it take for new legal rules and doctrines on corruption to crystallise? This article seeks to answer these two questions by reviewing the relevant history of international legal scholarship, the current public international law framework for anticorruption, and recent developments in international legal practice. We conclude

Data Surveillance Since the Snowden Revelations: A Grotian Moment in International Law? Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Milan Tahraoui
Mass data surveillance practices have received heightened attention in international law since the Snowden revelations of 2013. In this article, I examine whether that attention has given rise to a “Grotian moment” regarding the regulation of these activities under international law. At the outset, I answer that question in the negative and conclude that no general customary international law rules

Expanding Universe: Grotian Moments in the Practice of the UN Security Council Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Inger Österdahl
This contribution explores Grotian Moments in the practice of the UN Security Council in three different but closely related subject areas. The three areas are, in turn, the way the Security Council interprets the concept of ‘threat to the peace’ or more generally ‘international peace and security’, the law-making by the Security Council, and the subjects – in the sense of legal or natural persons

Grotian Moments in the Law of Self-Determination: Law, Rhetoric, and Reality Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Tom Sparks
Self-determination is one of international law’s most reviled and yet most important principles. The legal development of self-determination – or specific forms thereof – as a customary norm of international law has been shaped and spurred by key moments. These include the American and French declarations of 1776 and 1789, the conclusion of the UN Charter, and the General Assembly’s resolution 1514

Hugo Grotius’s De iure belli ac pacis: a Report on the Worldwide Census of the Second Edition (1626) Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Edward Jones Corredera, Lara Muschel, Mark Somos
The first edition of Hugo Grotius’s De iure belli ac pacis was published in Paris by Nicolas Buon in 1625. An unauthorised second edition appeared in Frankfurt a year later, from the reputable Wechel press. After Grotius made hundreds of changes to the first and second states of the first edition, and failed to convince the publisher Nicolas Buon of the merits of printing yet another edition of the

Hugo Grotius’s best-known work, De iure belli ac pacis, appeared in 1625 in Paris with the author’s approval. A second unauthorised version was published in 1626 in Frankfurt. In 1631 the Amsterdam publisher, Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571–1638), issued the third edition, this one authorised by the author – and this edition featured nearly a thousand revisions by Grotius.

International Environmental Law: of Sovereignty, Complexity, and Grotian Moments Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Jutta Brunnée
The Grotian Moment concept provides a lens through which to reflect on the enduring hold of state sovereignty on international environmental law. The article traces the development of the field’s customary rule framework and canvasses efforts to push its conceptual boundaries beyond the inter-state paradigm. Given their dominant role in the field, the article then provides a brief overview of treaty-based

(Meta) Grotian Moment: International Organizations and the Rapid Formation of Customary International Law Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Lorenzo Gasbarri
In this paper, I first discuss the concept of ‘Grotian Moment’ in the context of the capacity of international organizations to contribute to the formation and identification of customary international law. Afterward, I apply three levels to discuss the time element of the formation of custom. At the micro-level of the institutional practice, the time required to form a customary norm may depend on

Statehood: A Grotian Moment 2 Grotiana Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Milena Sterio
Grotian Moments are instances of accelerated formation of customary law, sparked by significant world events, such as wars, terrorism attacks, developments in technology, or natural catastrophes. This article will apply the Grotian Moment theory to the legal criteria of statehood, in an attempt to assess whether an evolution in specific elements of statehood has resulted in such paradigm-shifting Grotian

Between ‘Time Immemorial’ and ‘Instant Custom’: The Time Element in Customary International Law Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-11-18 Omri Sender, Sir Michael Wood
Article 38.1(b) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, which refers to customary international law as ‘a general practice accepted as law’, makes no mention of duration. Yet the ‘time element’, as the Court itself called it, has not infrequently been relevant—if not central—to determining whether a rule of customary international law has come into being. The present article seeks to

A Grotian Moment for Animal Sociability? Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-11-18 Francesca Iurlaro
In this article, I will revert to the categories of ‘fitness’ and ‘sociability’ to ask whether a ‘Grotian moment for animal sociability’ can be conceptualized. Grotius claims that we share a core of fundamental laws with animals. Building upon a passage from Seneca’s De clementia, Grotius calls these laws ‘commune ius animantium’, i.e. the common law of living beings. These shared legal entitlements

Grotian Moments and Peremptory Norms of General International Law: Friendly Facilitators or Fatal Foes? Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-11-18 Dire Tladi
The concept of a Grotian moment remains rather obscure in international law. On the one hand, it can refer simply to an empirical fact which galvanises the ordinary law-making processes, whether treaty-making or State practice, resulting in major shifts in international law. On the other hand, a Grotian moment might be seen as an event so significant that it results in an extraordinary shift in international

Grotian Moments: The Concept Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-11-18 Michael P. Scharf
During times of fundamental change, customary international law can form quite abruptly. Scholars have begun to call the paradigm shifts and tipping points that lead to rapid formation of new rules of customary international law ‘Grotian Moments.’ This chapter introduces the concept, explains its appellation, provides historic examples of its application since World War ii, examines its usefulness

The ‘Grotian Style’ in International Criminal Justice Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-11-18 Frédéric Mégret
This article envisages how one might conceptualize the ‘Grotian Style’ in international criminal justice as a practice of adaptation spearheaded by international judges rather than as actual changes occurring in the international system. It foregrounds the emblematic career of Antonio Cassese at the ICTY as epitomizing the trajectory of a scholar on the bench intent on seizing a historic opportunity

The Grotian Tradition, Grotian Moment, and Decolonization: A twail Perspective Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-11-18 B.S. Chimni
The times of Grotius were a period of transition from a feudal to a capitalist order in Europe, ushering in new thinking on subjects such as human nature, commerce, state, war, and colonialism. In articulating his views, Grotius was not seeking to shape the law of nations for all times but to recast it in order to respond to the problems encountered by Holland (or the United Provinces), and more generally

The Impact of Sea Level Rise on Maritime Limits: A Grotian Moment in the Law of the Sea? Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-11-18 Snjólaug Árnadóttir
The legal order of the oceans centres on coastal geography which is undergoing unprecedented changes. Claims to national jurisdiction are based on distance from the coast and are only enforceable as long as they are consistent with international law. Consequently, sea level rise and submergence of coastal features can affect the location and enforceability of unilateral maritime limits and bilateral

Why International Lawyers Measure Time with a Telescope: Grotian Moments & Richard Falk’s Histories of the Future Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-11-18 Edward Jones Corredera
This article contextualises the origins of the term Grotian Moment, coined and frequently redefined by Richard Falk. By generating a conceptual history of the idea and its uses, the article draws attention to the ways that Falk’s sustained interest in the question of temporality and the nature of change in international law can inform present legal debates. The recovery of Falk’s efforts to engage

Culpa Levissima and the Eclipse of Strict Liability Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-07-01 James Gordley
In Roman law, as interpreted by the medieval jurists, in a gratuitous loan (commodatum), the borrower was liable for culpa levissima, failure to use be as diligent as “most diligent” (diligentissimus). It would seem, then, that a person could be liable for conduct that he could not help. That consequence troubled the medieval canonists a person would then be liable who had not sinned. It troubled the

Grotius’s Position on Implied Servitudes by Means of Destinatione Patris Familias Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Vincent van Hoof
According to Grotius in his Inleiding (2.36.6), the actual use of two houses by the same owner could lead to the implied grant of a servitude if he transferred one of the houses to someone else, ‘without any mention either the one way or the other’. Various interpretations of this text exist, but the consensus is lacking. In this article, the author investigates the meaning and influence of Grotius’s

The History of Fair Trade: Hugo Grotius, Corporations, and the Spanish Enlightenment Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Edward Jones Corredera
The early Spanish Enlightenment was shaped by debates over corporations, sovereignty, and the balance of power in Europe. Spanish officials, in this context, turned to the ideas of Hugo Grotius to establish joint-stock companies that could allow the Crown to regain control over its imperial domains and establish perpetual peace in Europe. This article recovers the writings of Félix Fernando de Sotomayor

The Place of Fault in Grotius’s Conception of Liability for Wrongdoing Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Joe Sampson
This article compares Grotius’s treatments of liability for wrongdoing in natural law and the law of Holland to emphasise the conceptual centrality of fault in both, and places Grotius’s analyses in their historical context by tracing the treatment of strict liability in those intellectual traditions upon which he drew. It focuses in particular on the formulation of obligations quasi ex maleficio to

Qualitative Liability in the Early Modern Low Countries (ca. 1425–1650) Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Wouter Druwé
In his ‘Inleidinge tot de Hollantsche Rechtsgeleertheyt’, Hugo Grotius introduced the concept of wrong-by-construction-of-law (‘misdaed door wetsduidinge’), the idea that civil law could assign liability to someone who had not committed any fault, i.e. merely because of his or her ‘capacity’ or ‘quality’ as a parent, as an owner of an animal, as an inhabitant of a building, or as an employer or shipowner

Religion and Government in Hugo Grotius’s Annales: Orthodoxy, William the Silent and Reason of State Grotiana Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Jan Waszink
In Grotius’s Annales, religion appears almost exclusively as a social and political problem. References (implied or explicit) to religion as a good thing or its positive effects are lacking. This aspect of Grotius’s text arises from its equation of ‘religion’ with ‘combative orthodox religion in the post-reformation era’. However, it is not credible that this view represents Hugo Grotius’s actual opinion

This article compares the views of Grotius and subsequent authors on the doctrines of necessity and strict liability. This comparison takes place at two levels. On the one hand, there is a comparison of the views of Grotius with those of Pufendorf, Smith, Kant and recent Kantian authors. On the other hand, there is a comparison between the doctrines of necessity and strict liability. This exercise

Corporate Belligerency and the Delegation Theory from Grotius to Westlake Grotiana Pub Date : 2020-12-17 Rotem Giladi
This article starts with a critical reflection on John Westlake’s reading of the history of empire and the English/British East India Company – for him, essentially, the proper concern of ‘constitutional history’ rather than international law. For Westlake, approaching this history through the prism of nineteenth-century positivist doctrine, the Company’s exercise of war powers could only result from

Grotius and Late Medieval Ius Commune on Rebellion and Civil War Grotiana Pub Date : 2020-12-17 Dante Fedele
This paper explores the presence of late medieval ius commune in Grotius’s thought on the use of force in internal strife and war, based on De iure belli ac pacis (1625). To this end, it examines Grotius’s use of ius commune sources, and considers some similar sources, which he does not actually cite, but which relate to his discussion. By clarifying Grotius’s selection and use of ius commune sources

Grotius on Reprisal Grotiana Pub Date : 2020-12-17 Randall Lesaffer
In neither of his two major forays into the laws of war and peace – De iure praedae or De iure belli ac pacis – did Hugo Grotius discuss the legal institutions of reprisal – whether special or general – or privateering in their own right. His profoundly novel reading of the just war doctrine in the context of his theory of natural rights, however, gave powerful legitimisation to the practices of special

Hugo Grotius and the Classical Law of Civil War Grotiana Pub Date : 2020-12-17 Ville Kari
This article explores the writings of Hugo Grotius on the law of civil war. First, the article takes a look at what Grotius wrote about the Dutch revolt, the civil war during which he himself lived and which he helped to legitimise. Second, the article notes how in legal practice the Dutch revolt also provided a valuable early precedent for the later scholars of the law of civil war, who were more

Hugo Grotius, Declaration of War, and the International Moral Order Grotiana Pub Date : 2020-12-17 Camilla Boisen
This article investigates the formal purpose of declaring wars for Hugo Grotius. Grotius was adamant that states always use justification in a duplicitous way to conceal their real motivation to go to war. As such, the purpose of declaration is not to assert the just cause of war. Rather, what any public declaration does, is provide recognition that confers legal validation to the disputing parties

Perfect War: Alberico Gentili on the Use of Force and the Early Modern Law of Nations Grotiana Pub Date : 2020-12-17 Valentina Vadi
Gentili’s conceptualization of war as a conflict between states attempted to limit the legitimacy of war to external wars only, thus precluding the legitimacy of civil wars. It reflected both the emergence of sovereign states and the vision of international law as a law among polities rather than individuals. The conceptualization of war as a dispute settlement mechanism among polities rather than

A Prodigy Child of the Dutch Revolt: Immediate ‘Precursors’ to Grotius on Just Revolt Grotiana Pub Date : 2020-12-17 Raymond Kubben
One of the odd things about Grotius’s thought is that he – advocate of a rebellious regime – was not very supportive of the right of resistance. Justifying the revolt at the time not only meant legitimizing the new regime he was serving; it also meant ruling out opposition against it. That posed an intricate puzzle; a puzzle Grotius solved by drawing on the theorizing on just revolt of the previous

Centuries before being included in Hugo Grotius’s De iure belli ac pacis and De iure praedae, the subject of reprisal was already being discussed in medieval literature. The aim of this paper is to examine the medieval and early modern practice and theory of reprisal as it developed before and during Grotius’s lifetime. Its first part investigates a number of important foundational elements, such as
