International law evolved to end and prevent armed conflict as much
as for any other reason. Yet, the law against war appears weaker
today than ever in its long history, evidenced by raging armed
conflicts in which people are killed, injured, and forcibly
displaced. The environment is devastated, and the planet
impoverished. These consequences can be traced to the dominant
ideology of realism. In 1946, Hersch Lauterpacht challenged that
ideology by contrasting it with the idea of international law,
composed of natural law, positive law, and process theory. The Art
of Law in the International Community revives his vision,
rebuilding the understanding of why international law binds, what
its norms require, and how courts are the ideal substitutes for
war. The secret to the renewal of international law lies in
revitalizing the moral foundation of natural law through drawing on
aesthetic philosophy and the arts.
