Project description
The world’s first truly international organisation and the development of international law
Created after World War I, the League of Nations was an international forum for resolving international disputes. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, its goals included disarmament, preventing war through collective security, settling disputes between countries through negotiation diplomacy and improving global welfare. As a predecessor of today’s United Nations, how did the League of Nations contribute to the development of international law in the early 20th century? Which strategies and techniques did it deploy to promote and give a legal shape to international agreements? The EU-funded LONintLAW project will answer these questions. It will make a path-breaking contribution to the history of both international law and international organisations. The findings will be useful for historians, legal scholars and political scientists.
Objective
This postdoc project provides the first historical account of how the predecessor of today’s United Nations, the League of Nations, fundamentally contributed to the development of international law in the early Twentieth Century. With the help of an innovative methodology, the project will lay bare how: firstly, the League forged diplomatic strategies to convince member states to accept the regulation of their actions through the signature of over one hundred international treaties and conventions; secondly, it developed techniques to draft and implement multilateral legal instruments, which still prevail today. Thus, the project will make a pathbreaking contribution to both the history of international law and the history of international organizations, and it will be of interest for historians, legal scholars and political scientists. It will be carried out in an environment which currently represents Europe’s most thriving research hub in the history of international law. Moreover, it is specifically designed to provide the scientific and non-scientific training activities that I need at this stage to take my career to the next level.
