emmerich de vattel
the dutch jurist hugo grotius (1583–1645) is widely regarded as the most seminal figure in international law, being one of the first scholars to articulate an international order that consists of a "society of states" governed not by force or warfare but by actual laws, mutual agreements, and customs. grotius secularised international law and organized it into a comprehensive system; his 1625 work, "de jure belli ac pacis" ("on the law of war and peace"), laid down a system of principles of natural law that bind all nations regardless of local custom or law. he also emphasized the freedom of the high seas, which was not only relevant to the growing number of european states exploring and colonising the world, but remains a cornerstone of international law today. although the modern study of international law would not begin until the early 19th century, the 16th century scholars gentili, vitoria and grotius laid the foundations and are widely regarded as the "fathers of international law."
