La paz por medio del derecho

La paz por medio del derecho by Hans Kelsen In an era where the idea of ad hoc coalitions dominating international relations and the concept of preventive war seem to be gaining traction, this book presents a compelling case for the role of law in maintaining peace. Written by Hans Kelsen before the end of World War II, La paz por medio del derecho explores the principles of international law and its commitment to fairness. Kelsen argues that a permanent International Court of Justice is essential for preventing war and promoting global stability. This idea was influential in shaping the post-war international order, including the establishment of the United Nations. The book's themes remain relevant today, as the international community grapples with issues of conflict prevention and cooperation. By examining the importance of law in maintaining peace, Kelsen highlights a fundamental truth: that war is a grave injustice that must be prevented at all costs. Ensuring global stability is a pressing political imperative, one that supersedes debates over democracy versus autocracy or capitalism versus socialism.
