Hugo Grotius

GROTIUS WROTE: “FULLY THERE IS A COMMON LAW AMONG NATIONS, WHICH IS VALID ALIKE FOR WAR AND IN WAR, I HAVE HAD MANY AND WEIGHTY REASONS FOR UNDERTAKING TO WRITE UPON THE SUBJECT. THROUGHOUT THE CHRISTIAN WORLD I OBSERVED A LACK OF RESTRAINT IN RELATION TO WAR, SUCH AS EVEN BARBAROUS RACES SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF; I OBSERVED THAT MEN RUSH TO ARMS FOR SLIGHT CAUSES, OR NO CAUSE AT ALL, AND THAT WHEN ARMS HAVE ONCE BEEN TAKEN UP THERE IS NO LONGER ANY RESPECT FOR LAW, DIVINE OR HUMAN; IT IS AS IF, IN ACCORDANCE WITH A GENERAL DECREE, FRENZY HAD OPENLY BEEN LET LOOSE FOR THE COMMITTING OF ALL CRIMES.“ ALL IMAGES IN THIS VIDEO ARE IMAGES IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
