More DescriptionA title in The Lawbook Exchange series, Foundations of the Laws of War. Ferencz was the Chief Prosecutor for the United States at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, author of Defining International Aggression-The Search for World Peace (1975), Adjunct Professor of International Law, Pace University and founder of the Pace Peace Center. Efforts to enforce world peace during the twentieth century through international organizations created a demand for a legal definition of aggression. A U.N. committee attempted to provide one in a 1956 report. Stone rejected it for two reasons. Citing a broad array of examples, he shows that the concept of aggression eludes definition. More important, he argues that a definition is not necessary for the goals of international peace-enforcement. "Professor Stone puts forward his arguments with his usual great learning and persuasiveness; the result is a stimulating and sane study of a problem whose discussion has so often been characterized by sterility and lack of proportion.": John Collier, Cambridge Law Journal 1960 (1960) 247.
