The formative years of the American Society of International Law
Article Abstract:
The turn-of-the-century American peace movement spawned the American Society of International Law in 1906, a society whose goals included promoting the codification of international law. The Society's 'American Journal of International Law' and its annual meetings provided a forum for intelligent analysis of international law and relations. The promotion of international dispute resolution mechanisms has been another major objective of the organization. The history of the Society, its early leaders, meetings, and pre-World War I activities are discussed.
