Viac o knihe

Focusing on the decline of natural law and the rise of legal positivism, Tomberg critiques the evolution of international law, arguing that it has devolved into a tool for legitimizing absolute power, contributing to the emergence of totalitarian states. His work outlines a historical perspective on international law, advocating for a regeneration rooted in the principles of humankind's rights. By invoking Thomistic philosophy, he aims to restore a higher moral foundation for legal systems, promoting peaceful coexistence among nations.
