Myres Smith McDougal: 1906-1998

Article Abstract:

Myres Smith McDougal, who died on May 7, 1998, taught at the Yale Law School and left an indelible legacy in international law. He published treatises on the law of war, oceans, outer space, human rights, and agreements. He was born in Mississippi and educated at the University of Mississippi, Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and Yale University. His powerful argumentative style was legendary, but his manners in private were marked by southern courtesy. He was virtually blind for the last forty, and most productive, years of his life.

International law as it now stands is inadequate to deal with this issue, having been formulated in an entirely different context from the one which now prevails.
