Abstract

This article focuses on Nicholas Politis’ efforts to outlaw war and define aggression, and places them within the progress narrative of the interwar international law discourse. This narrative is defined by its rejection of sovereignty; its belief in codification; and the recognition of the individual as a subject of international law. Politis’ projects envisage international law as a means towards an ecumenical world order built around individuals.
