    Enemies of mankind: the doctrine of international law enforcement in Vattel's Droit des gens
    RECH, WALTER ( 2012)
    This thesis investigates the ‘enemy of mankind’ concept in early-modern international law. It argues that the concept played a pivotal role in the collective security theory of Swiss jurist Emer de Vattel. This historical analysis also throws light on current debates concerning the legal status of terrorists, pirates and irregular combatants.
