This volume examines the role of League of Nations committees,
particularly the Advisory Committee of Jurists (ACJ) in shaping the
statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ). The
authors explore the contributions of individual jurists and
unofficial members in shaping the League's international legal
machinery. It is a companion book to The League of Nations and the
Development of International Law: A New Intellectual History of the
Advisory Committee of Jurists (Routledge, 2021). One of the guiding
principles of the book is that the development of international law
was a project of politics where the idea and notion of an
international society must contend with the political visions of
each state represented on the different legal committees in the
League of Nations during the drafting of the Covenant. The book
constitutes a major contribution to the literature in that it shows
the inner workings of some of the legal committees of the League
and how the political role of unofficial members was influential
for the development of international law in the early twentieth
century and how they influenced the political and legal process of
the ACJ. The book will be an essential reference for those working
in the areas of International Law, Legal History, International
Relations, Political History, and European History.
