A Short History of International Refugee Law: the Early Years A Short History of International Refugee Law: The Early Years Guy S. Goodwin-Gill* 1. Introduction Where to begin? The history of international refugee law has been written many times already, and this brief introduction takes the creation of the League of Nations in 1920 as the point of departure, for the ‘modern’ system of protection is inextricably linked to another story – the twentieth century’s first attempts at cooperation on matters of international concern.1 The early activities attracted comment on law and practice at the time,2 and more recent narratives have served both academic and forensic purposes – to demonstrate the personal impact of individuals, such as Fridtjof Nansen, the first High Commissioner for refugees;3 Gustave Ador, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross;4 Herbert Hoover and the American Relief Association;5 or James Grover McDonald, the High Commissioner for Refugees (Jewish and other) coming from Germany.6 History has * Professor of Law, University of New South Wales and Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law; Emeritus Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford.

International refugee law evolved within the politics of confrontation, mediated from time to time by the idealism of those participating in these first experiments in international cooperation, by the voices of individuals, including refugees, among the private voluntary agencies that provided relief and participated in international institutions, and by those who acted as advocates and interlocutors with governments. At times, the history seems to confirm the absence of any clear, consistent intent or commitment on the part of States, either to deal with causes and find solutions, or to regulate practice between themselves on the basis of rules, let alone vis-à-vis the individual refugee considered as agent and rights holder. The refugee is commonly portrayed as a transitory phenomenon and if he or she or they are to be treated otherwise than as just another foreigner, then it will be done reluctantly, with as little violation as possible of the State’s sovereign competence. Overall, however, the picture is more complex. Raising refugees to a known legal category and entrenching certain rights in their regard was certainly progress, but these days it is often offset by claims of national interest and national security. 1.1 The League of Nations The Covenant of the League of Nations was adopted as Part I of the Treaty of Versailles on 29 April 1919, and the organisation itself was inaugurated on 10 7 See J. C. Hathaway, ‘The Evolution of Refugee Status in International Law: 1920-1950’, (1984) 33 International and Comparative Law Quarterly 348: DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/iclqaj/33.2.348 8 See Claudena M. Skran, Refugees in Inter-War Europe: The Emergence of a Regime, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1985; ‘The International Refugee Regime: The Historical and Contemporary Context of International Responses to Asylum Problems’, (1992) 4 Journal of Policy History 8: DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0898030600006485 3 January 1920, after the Peace Treaty came into force.9 At first glace, the Covenant appeared to allow little scope for involvement in humanitarian issues, but there were also sufficient references to social justice and ‘to the regulation of matters of international interest’ to open the way for action;10 and three issues resonated in the early years – the plight of prisoners of war, many of whom remained in exile years after the conclusion of hostilities; health matters, particularly when linked to famine and the threat of epidemics; and the anomalous situation of refugees without the protection of their country of origin or nationality. Here, politics were to play an important role, for many States were initially unwilling to recognize or otherwise deal with the Soviets, the Bolshevik revolution was seen as an affront to civilised government, and in several cases diplomats and consular officials from the old régime continued to exercise their functions.11 Some of the problems of population displacement brought about by the war, the October 1917 revolution and the collapse of the Ottoman and Austro- Hungarian empires were even then becoming apparent. Long-established religious minorities in the borderlands of Persia, Turkey and the British and French mandates were now unsettled, with the plight of Assyrian and Armenian refugees in Mesopotamia the subject of lengthy correspondence between those responsible in the field and the ministries and cabinet office in London.12 With regard to a 9 1 League of Nations Official Journal (hereafter LNOJ) 3; [1919] UKTS 4 (Cmd. 153).

Poland promoted the establishment of the Central European Bloc, which in some va- riants would also include Turkey. Furthermore, the state played an important role in the Polish Promethean politics because it had borders with the Caucasus, and in addition there was a wave of Caucasian emigration.

    Ewa Pałasz-Rutkowska The Russo-Japanese war and its impact on Polish‑Japanese relations in the first half of the twentieth century Analecta Nipponica 1, 11-43 2011 ARTICLES Ewa Pałasz-Rutkowska THE RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON THE POLISH-JAPANESE RELATIONS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 The Russo-Japanese War and its effects undoubtedly influenced the internatio- nal situation and directly affected Poland as well as Polish-Japanese relations, in the short as well as the long run. In the short run – that is, during the war itself – various political forces in Poland (e.g. Polish Socialist Party, National League) sought to exploit it for their own ends (including the restoration of an indepen- dent Polish state), establishing direct contacts with representatives of the Japanese government. At the same time, Poles exhibited much greater interest in Japan as a country which, less than 40 years after it ended its isolation and began to mod- ernize, had the courage to launch a war against mighty imperial Russia, Poland’s primary enemy at the time. This interest was reflected in numerous (for the era) Polish publications about Japan, including indirect translations of Japanese litera- ture (Okakura Kakuzō 岡倉覚三, Nitobe Inazō 新渡戸稲造, Tokutomi Roka 徳富 蘆花, translations of works by Westerners who had visited Japan (Wilhelm Dep- ping, Henry Dumolard, Rudyard Kipling, Georges Weulerse) and works by Poles, including books and articles in the press.

Get your free copy here. In Europe, and particularly in East-Central Europe, Herbert C. Hoover was one of the best-known American politicians after World War I. The son of an Quaker blacksmith, Hoover was educated at the newly established Stanford University and became a successful engineer and expert in mining and a wealthy businessman. He was a man of immense success, an incarnation of the American Dream – an incredible life and career ‘from rags to riches.’ As the Director of the American Relief Administration (ARA) and assistant to President Woodrow Wilson, he played an important role during and after the Paris Peace Conference. His successes and great popularity as a public servant pushed him directly towards a rapid and enduring political career. He became the Secretary of Commerce in the Republican administrations of Warren G. Harding (1921–23) and Calvin Coolidge (1923–29). The years of American prosperity in the 1920s, when he had been a successful Cabinet member elevated him to the White House after the victory in the presidential election in 1928.

  • A History of Model League of Nations in the United States
    Chapter One _________ A History of Model League of Nations in the United States The origin of intercollegiate simulations of international organizations in the United States can be traced back more than 90 years ago when Australian-born Professor Hessel Duncan Hall of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University organized a two-day Model Assembly of the League of Nations on April 29-30, 1927.1 According to Professor Hall, the simulation of the Assembly of the League of Nations was “the first time that a Model League Assembly, participated in by a number of universities, has been held in the United States.”2 The New York Times reported that the precedents of the 1927 Model Assembly of the League of Nations at Syracuse University were similar conferences held previously in Great Britain and Japan.3 According to one report, the Oxford University branch of the League of Nations Union (LNU) organized a “model assembly” of the League of Nations in 1921. Foreign students studying at Oxford University participated in the “model assembly” as representatives of some 34 countries, including Australia and India.4 Another report indicated that thirteen student branches of the Japanese League of Nations Association “conceived the idea of holding in Tokyo a public session of a Model League of Nations” in 1925.5 The purposes of the Model Assembly of the League of Nations held at Syracuse University in 1927 were to “enable American and foreign students in New York State to meet for a frank discussion of urgent problems of international relations” and to “give them an opportunity of seeing in action the most important organization for world cooperation ever established.”6 The League of Nations organization, the predecessor of the modern United Nations (U.N.) organization, was established by the allied powers at the end of the First World War.
