A World Court In The Light Of The United States Supreme Court (1918)

by Thomas Balch and Thomas Willing Balch

Book Overview

""A World Court in the Light of the United States Supreme Court"" is a book written by Thomas Willing Balch and published in 1918. The book explores the idea of establishing a world court that would serve as a judicial authority for international disputes. Balch draws upon the principles and practices of the United States Supreme Court to propose a model for the world court. He argues that the world court should be based on a system of judges appointed by member nations, with the power to interpret international law and resolve disputes between nations. The book also examines the historical and political context in which the idea of a world court emerged, including the aftermath of World War I and the League of Nations. Balch's work is a significant contribution to the international law and diplomacy literature, and remains relevant to contemporary debates about the role of international institutions in promoting peace and resolving conflicts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
