BUT_Erpelding_5754-1_HC.indd 4 01.04.19 13:05 Foreword This edited collection of papers contains the presentations of the Versailles Peace Treaty conference, organized by the two departments of the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law, from 6 to 8 December 2017 in Luxembourg. The leitmotif of the conference was ‘peace through law’, expressing a valuable aspiration of the 1920s and early 1930s. The objective of the Conference was to bring together leading experts in dispute resolution in private and public international law on the eve of the centennial of the signing of the Treaty. The conference explored the endur- ing impacts of the Versailles Treaty with a specific focus on dispute resolu- tion, thus combining the research fields of the two departments of the In- stitute. The conference started with two successive addresses by the ambas- sadors of France and Germany in Luxembourg, Their Excellencies Mr Bruno Perdu and Dr Heinrich Kreft, who shared their views on the Peace Treaties. This symbolic gesture, for which we express our gratitude, was fol- lowed by a deeply inspiring inaugural lecture by Nathaniel Berman outlin- ing the historical context of the event’s main theme. The next day of the conference addressed the establishment of the League of Nations and other aspects of the new world order (aiming at international cooperation) estab- lished by the Versailles Peace Treaty. The political and economic conse- quences of the war primarily concerned the transfer of territories and the protection of minorities. An additional issue related to the legal founda- tions and the rescheduling of payments of reparations between 1919 and 1930. The third day of the conference focussed on the various dispute reso- lution mechanisms under the Peace Treaties, the establishment of the Per- manent Court of International Justice at The Hague and the various mixed arbitral tribunals, which gave individuals standing in proceedings under international law. 5 Foreword This publication is primarily the work of its authors, and we hereby ex- press gratitude to them for the effort they have put into writing the papers. Special thanks are due to Derek Stemple for language editing and format- ting of the manuscripts, and to Michel Erpelding, our co-editor, who—as a spiritus rector—conceived the conference and followed the progress of the publication of the papers. Finally, we would like to thank Nomos Verlag for its support and guidance in the publishing process of this book.

As one American attendee later wrote to his wife, it was a high-brow affair. The guest list included a grand- nephew of Napoleon I, Prince Roland-Napoléon Bonaparte, and Albert I, Prince of Monaco. However, like their host, the British barrister and aca- demic Sir Thomas Barclay, most of the twenty or so diners were highly re- garded authorities on international law. They were also members of the In- stitut de Droit International (IDI), which, a few hours earlier, had concluded an extraordinary two-day session at the Ceremonial Hall of the Paris Law Faculty. All were gathered to honour the man whose ideas were profoundly changing the way people thought about international relations and inter- national law: the President of the United States of America, Woodrow Wil- son.1 The IDI had not convened since its Oxford session in August 1913—its subsequent session, meant to take place in Munich in September of the fol- lowing year, had been cancelled after the summer of 1914 had ended in mobilization and war.2 Founded in 1873 as a reaction to the Franco–Prus- sian war of 1870–1871, the IDI had vowed to ‘promote the progress of in- ternational law’. By declaring that they would ‘[strive] to formulate the gen- eral principles of the subject, in such a way as to correspond to the legal conscience of the civilized world’, its members had openly challenged the monopoly of governments over international law.3 The idea that interna- tional disputes might be better resolved by legal experts rather than gov- ernements or diplomats had also been gaining ground among a somewhat * Senior Research Fellow, Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law. 1 ‘Avant-propos’ (1919) 27 Annuaire IDI V–XII. 2 ibid. 3 Martti Koskenniemi, The Gentle Civilizer of Nations: The Rise and Fall of Internation- al Law, 1870–1960 (CUP 2001) 47. 11 Michel Erpelding broader public. ‘Realist’ pacifist associations, such as the British Interna- tional Arbitration League, founded in 1870, or the French Association de la Paix par le Droit (‘Peace through Law Association’), established in 1887, were advocating compulsory international arbitration as an alternative to classic diplomacy. As an exclusive academic society, the IDI had always steered clear of pacifism. However, it had actively supported and contribut- ed to the development of international arbitration as a means to avoid war.4 Its efforts, and those of other groups of international lawyers, such as the American Society of International Law (ASIL), created in 1906, had had a particular resonance with decision-makers in the Americas, particularly in the United States. That very same year, Theodore Roosevelt had become the first statesman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, both for his hav- ing negotiated peace between Russia and Japan in 1905 and for having re- sorted to arbitration in a dispute with Mexico.

La riu- nificazione tedesca e la conclusione della vicenda della Rechtslage. La Germania non esiste più. […] La dissoluzione di uno stato si riconosce, del resto, proprio dal fatto che tutto va in modo diverso da quello stabilito dalle leggi. […] I tedeschi rimangono fedeli ai loro concetti, al diritto ed alle leggi, ma gli accadimenti non coincidono con tutto ciò […]. G.W.F. HEGEL, La Costituzione della Germania, 1802 I. Nel 1940 Hans Kelsen, in fuga dal nazionalsocialismo, era giunto, dopo una lunga e travagliata vicenda, negli Stati Uniti. Pochi anni dopo la situazione militare per il Terzo Reich si era complicata e, in seguito alla rotta di Stalingrado (febbraio 1943), gli Alleati era- no ormai consapevoli della prossima sconfitta dell’Asse. Pertanto, mentre ancora l’Europa attendeva di essere liberata, cominciarono a discutere di come gestire la vittoria e, cioè, di cosa fare del territorio e della popolazione del Reich tedesco al termine del conflitto 1. 1 Gli Alleati, nel corso della Conferenza di Mosca del 1943, stabilirono la fon- dazione della European Advisory Commision, con il compito di individuare e de- finire strategie e politiche da adottare nei territori del Reich dopo la liberazione dal nazionalsocialismo.

  • Deux Débats Parlementaires Sur L'adhésion De La Suisse À La Société Des Nations Il Y a 100
    Parlamentsdienste Services du Parlement Servizi del Parlamento Servetschs dal parlament Version print_2 Bulletin officiel 3003 Bern Deux débats parlementaires sur l’adhésion de la Suisse à la Société des Nations il y a 100 ans La question de la neutralité au centre de la discussion La Suisse a fait son entrée à la Société des Nations, précurseur de l’Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU), en 1920, quelques mois seulement après que cette dernière fut créée en vue de mettre un terme aux conflits mondiaux et de garantir la paix. Tous les éclairages, ou presque, sur l’adhésion de la Suisse à la Société des Nations se concentrent sur le rôle du Conseil fédéral ou de certains conseillers fédéraux (Gustave Ador, Felix Calonder, Giuseppe Motta) ainsi que sur la campagne qui a précédé la votation populaire. Cette approche est tout à fait légitime, les conseillers fédéraux ayant effectivement joué un rôle déterminant dans l’adhésion de la Suisse à la Société des Nations, sa participation au sein de l’organisation et le choix du siège de cette dernière. La votation populaire qui a précédé l’adhésion est un autre aspect déterminant, d’une part en raison de l’importance de la thématique, et d’autre part en raison de l’élargissement des droits populaires lié à celle-ci. C’est la première fois en effet que le peuple a pu se prononcer sur un traité international. Ces aspects ont néanmoins éclipsé le rôle central du Parlement, qui a mené deux grands débats sur la question de l’adhésion, d’abord en novembre 1919 puis en mars 1920.

  • Inventaire Des Papiers Camille Gutt
    $$ ,QYHQWDLUHGHV3DSLHUV&DPLOOH*XWW 1. Eléments biographiques : Camille Gutt (1884-1971) Camille Gutt (1884-1971) est né à Bruxelles le 14 novembre 1884. Son père Max Guttenstein est originaire de Neuzedlich tandis que sa mère, Marie-Paule Schweitzer est originaire de Bichwiller en Alsace. Installée à Bruxelles depuis 1877, la famille Guttenstein compte deux enfants, Hélène Gutt et Camille Gutt. En 1886, Max Guttenstein bénéficiera de la nationalité belge par le biais de la procédure de la grande naturalisation. Diplômé en Sciences politiques et Docteur en Droit de l’Université de Bruxelles, Camille Gutt débute dans la vie professionnelle comme avocat et journaliste. Engagé dans le Corps français des Saphis, il refuse, en 1915, de suivre son régiment dans les Dardanelles pour rejoindre Le Havre. Là, il rencontre un grand nombre de personnalités belges, comme Gaston Blaise ou encore Fernand Neuray. En 1916, il est envoyé à Londres pour rejoindre l’équipe chargée des achats en Grande-Bretagne dirigée par Georges Theunis (1873-1966). Séduit par l’intelligence du jeune lieutenant, ce dernier décide d’en faire son plus proche collaborateur. Une longue histoire de collaboration et d’amitié va alors naître entre les deux hommes. Camille Gutt est ensuite désigné comme Secrétaire général de la Commission du Ravitaillement à Londres. En 1919, il sera rappelé par Georges Theunis au poste de Secrétaire Général de la délégation belge à la Commission des Réparations créée dans la foulée du Traité de Versailles. Lorsque Georges Theunis est nommé ministre des Finances, en 1921, pour ensuite diriger le Cabinet jusqu’en 1924, Camille Gutt le suit comme chef de Cabinet même si l’essentiel des ses activités concerne la poursuite des négociations des réparations allemandes.

April,/932 184 PREFACE HE ·events of the past year have demonstrated per­ haps more clearly than ever before that the nations Tof the world, whatever their national policies and as­ pirations, are enmeshed in a network of international eco­ nomic relationships. In this age of rapid communication and expanding industrialism the barriers between the na­ tions that formerly enabled each of them to live a life apart have been swept away. In 1914, the assassination of an Austrian Archduke in a Balkan city brought the whole world into a disastrous armed conflict. In 1931, the failure of a large bank in Austria involved Germany, Great Britain, and the whole western world in its consequences. In every country an important body of public opinion doubts that any improvement in economic conditions within the nation is possible until vexing problems of international relations are settled.

  • Bulletin 2004 Zur Schweizerischen Sicherheitspolitik
    Gute Dienste – Mythen, Fakten, Perspektiven von Daniel Trachsler Einleitung Verhandlungen über die Wiedervereinigung Zyperns auf dem Bürgenstock, Lan- cierung der «Genfer Initiative» mit offizieller Unterstützung der Schweiz, Kontakte zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und dem Iran über den Umgang mit dem Schi- itenführer Muktada al-Sadr im Irak, welche über die schweizerische Botschaft in Teheran abgewickelt werden – die Guten Dienste der Schweiz stehen wieder stärker im Brennpunkt der Öffentlichkeit als auch schon. Auch in den Konzeptpapieren des Eidgenössischen Departements für auswärtige Angelegenheiten (EDA) tau- chen sie wieder prominenter auf. Die Politische Direktion des EDA wolle «eine aktive Rolle als Vermittlerin im Rahmen von politisch-diplomatischen Friedens- prozessen spielen und Gute Dienste in einer Form anbieten, welche den heutigen Realitäten Rechnung trägt»1, lautet das erste von fünf Zielen, an welchen sich die zivile Friedensförderungspolitik der Schweiz künftig ausrichten soll. Gerade seit dem Wechsel am Steuerruder des EDA knüpft die Schweiz wieder bewusster an diese vielbeschworene Tradition an.2 Nach der «Flaute»3 Mitte der neunziger Jahre, als der neue internationale Kontext und der Wegfall des ständigen Legitimations- zwangs der Neutralität die Guten Dienste in eine Sinnkrise stürzten, scheint nun das ehemalige aussenpolitische Flaggschiff zumindest wieder seetüchtig gemacht zu werden. Doch wohin soll die Reise gehen? Und wie kann ein erneutes Auflaufen in den Untiefen der internationalen Politik vermieden werden? Soll die schweizerische Politik der Guten Dienste nicht nur traditionsreich, sondern auch zukunftsträchtig sein, so ist zweierlei unabdingbar: erstens gilt es eine nüchterne Bilanz über die bisherigen schweizerischen Aktivitäten zu ziehen; zweitens muss eine ebenso nüchterne Einschätzung der künftigen Anforderungen und Trends vorgenommen werden.

  • Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years
    BRANDING BRUSSELS MUSICALLY: COSMOPOLITANISM AND NATIONALISM IN THE INTERWAR YEARS Catherine A. Hughes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds Valérie Dufour John L. Nádas Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Catherine A. Hughes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Catherine A. Hughes: Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) In Belgium, constructions of musical life in Brussels between the World Wars varied widely: some viewed the city as a major musical center, and others framed the city as a peripheral space to its larger neighbors. Both views, however, based the city’s identity on an intense interest in new foreign music, with works by Belgian composers taking a secondary importance. This modern and cosmopolitan concept of cultural achievement offered an alternative to the more traditional model of national identity as being built solely on creations by native artists sharing local traditions. Such a model eluded a country with competing ethnic groups: the Francophone Walloons in the south and the Flemish in the north. Openness to a wide variety of music became a hallmark of the capital’s cultural identity. As a result, the forces of Belgian cultural identity, patriotism, internationalism, interest in foreign culture, and conflicting views of modern music complicated the construction of Belgian cultural identity through music. By focusing on the work of the four central people in the network of organizers, patrons, and performers that sustained the art music culture in the Belgian capital, this dissertation challenges assumptions about construction of musical culture.
