Seit 1914 prägt der Leitspruch »Frieden durch Recht« die Arbeit des weltweit ältesten universitären Völkerrechtsinstituts, des Walther-Schücking-Instituts für Internationales Recht an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. Aus Anlass seines 100-jährigen Bestehens arbeitete eine internationale Konferenz das Thema der Friedenswahrung und -wiederherstellung durch Völkerrecht in Theorie und Praxis auf. Der vorliegende Band versammelt die Konferenzbeiträge, die vor dem Hintergrund jüngster Ereignisse über den Anlass hinaus drängende Aktualität besitzen.


Since 1914, »Peace through Law« is the guiding motto of the world’s oldest university institute for public international law, the Walther Schücking Institute for International Law at Kiel University. Marking the occasion of its 100th anniversary, an international conference assessed international law’s contribution to the maintenance and restoration of global peace and security. The present volume assembles the conference papers which address questions of urgent topicality.
