Description (résumé)

From his foundation in 1832 until Word War I, the French Académie des sciences morales et politiques has been a place of Knowledges where the discipline of international law has been constructed. Many French International Lawyers and diplomats were members of the Académie such as Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, Pellegrino Rossi, Joseph-Marie Portalis, Charles Giraud, Raymond-Théodore Troplong, Edouard Drouyn de Lhuis, Eugène Cauchy,  Adolphe Vuitry, Charles Vergé, Félix Esquirou de Parieu, Frédéric Passy, Charles Lyon-Caen, Louis Renault as well as associés étrangers such as the Russian Fréderic de Martens, the Dutch Tobias Asser, the Argentinian Carlos Calvo or the Swiss Gustave Moynier. The Académie has organized several competitions upon International law in 1839/1840 on “le progrès du droit des gens depuis les traités de Westphalie », in 1856-1857 on « les origines, les variations et les progrès du droit maritime international », in 1888 on « l’Arbitrage internationale » and in 1892 on « le droit des neutres ». Furthermore, many Book presentations and discourses dealt with international law such as the tragic speech from Louis Renault on “War and the Law of Nations” at the eve of WWI. This paper will analyse in a “longue durée” perspective how International law has been shaped at the Académie des sciences morales et politiques.
