This French printing of Secretary of State Elihu Root’s presidential address before the second annual meeting of the American Society of International Law discusses the basis for international law. Like municipal law, international law is best enforced by the sanction of public opinion, as expressed in individual opinions in the nations. Root suggests that the best way to promote international law is to promote public support of international law in lieu of creating armies and navies.
