When disarmament started to interest the major states and international lawyers at around the time of the 1899 Hague Conference, two distinct positions concerning the law of disarmament became apparent: proponents and opponents. The proponents, with their community-oriented aspirations, found much merit in establishing the law of disarmament, while the opponents, with their individual security concerns, saw nothing but negative consequences for such a possibility. Given these two forces in the disarmament debate, one could wonder how the 1921–1922 Washington Conference was able to produce a treaty limiting the naval armament. This article tries to show that the Washington Naval Treaty was different from the law of disarmament that the proponents had envisioned, and that it was made possible by carefully crafted provisions to limit its own impact on the security of the naval powers.

The ideas of a human war on nature, and a human war on animals more specifically, are now current in international politics and international law. This article unearths a historical understanding of war on animals as one paradigm of human relations with animals in the early modern law of nature and of nations (16th to 18th centuries). It shows how dominium (property or mastery) over animals was placed at the origin of all human dominium, and was in consequence conceptually central to its legitimation. It also shows, however, that dominium over animals was not straightforward to justify, because, although they were not human beings, they were seen as sufficiently like human beings in sentience to resist being legally treated like plants or inanimate objects. This article tracks three successive paradigms, all of all of which involve conceptual tensions that are illuminating for current thinking concerning violence against animals.

Perhaps it is not an inappropriate idea to have a profile of the late pioneer of global international legal history and emeritus editor of this journal, Michael Stolleis, begin in a Munich attic room. So let’s travel back a few decades, to Munich in the late 1960s, where Stolleis, a doctoral student and later postdoctoral lecturer, received crucial inspiration for his style of thinking.* The story about the influential author and teacher of public law thus begins with his own teacher. Michael Stolleis has often, readily and with affectionate admiration, reported on the decisive intellectual imprint of Sten Gagnér on him. And it was and is worth listening to him when Stolleis praised his character traits decades later: ‘He probably had his greatest gifts as a teacher and as a role model. He loved his pupils, he accompanied them throughout their lives, rejoiced and worried with them. And they, in turn, felt not actually a “school”, but connected by this very unusual, unacademic person.’ Wasn’t that Stolleis himself?

Vielleicht ist es keine unpassende Idee, ein Porträt über den verstorbenen Pionier der globalen Völkerrechtsgeschichte und emeritus editor dieser Zeitschrift Michael Stolleis in einem Münchner Mansardenzimmer beginnen zu lassen. Reisen wir also einige Jahrzehnte zurück, in das München der späten 1960er Jahre, wo der Doktorand und spätere Habilitand Stolleis entscheidende Impulse für seinen Denkstil empfing. Die Geschichte über den einflussreichen Autor und Lehrer des öffentlichen Rechts würde damit bei seinem eigenen Lehrer beginnen. Michael Stolleis hat oft, gerne und in liebevoller Bewunderung über seine maßgebliche Prägung bei Sten Gagnér berichtet. Und es lohnte und lohnt sich, ihm zuzuhören, wenn Stolleis dessen Charaktereigenschaften Jahrzehnte später pries: „Seine größten Gaben hatte er wohl als Lehrer und als Vorbild. Er hat seine Schüler geliebt, er begleitete sie ein Leben lang, freute und sorgte sich mit ihnen. Und sie wiederum fühlten sich nicht eigentlich als ‘Schule‘, aber verbunden durch diesen ganz ungewöhnlichen, unakademischen Menschen.“ War er, Stolleis, das nicht auch selbst? Michael Stolleis wurde am 20.
