It is because Catholicism played such a formative role in the
construction of Western legal culture that it is the focal point of
this enquiry. The account of international law from its origin in
the treaties of Westphalia, and located in the writing of the
Grotian tradition, had lost contact with another cosmopolitan
history of international law that reappeared with the growth of the
early twentieth century human rights movement. The beginnings of
the human rights movement, grounded in democratic sovereign power,
returned to that moral vocabulary to promote the further growth of
international order in the twentieth century. In recognising this
technique of periodically returning to Western cosmopolitan legal
culture, this book endeavours to provide a more complete account of
the human rights project that factors in the contribution that
cosmopolitan Catholicism made to a general theory of sovereignty,
international law and human rights.
