ABSTRACT

The Austrian international lawyer Heinrich Lammasch (1853–1920) is one of the neglected figures of the history of international legal theory, and even as a politician, he is known only to a very small number of experts. He is left out in Karl-Heinz Ziegler’s Völkerrechtsgeschichte and in Martti Koskenniemi’s The Gentle Civilizer of Nations. A recent publication is symptomatic: Lammasch gets a two-page entry with basic information. 1
