As he says in the preface: '...In the end, the reader will have to make his/her own judgment about how well the Society has run the course it set out for itself in 1906. I hope this book will provide a basis for that judgment. And of course no judgment at this stage can be final. The American Society of International Law will carry on into its second century with new and continuing programs that take into account what it has done in its first one hundred years. It will continue to do its best to demonstrate not only what international law is or should be, but also that, in the words of former ASIL President Louis Henkin, international law matters.' 606 $aInternational law$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aInternational relations and culture$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aInternational law$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational relations and culture$xHistory. 676 $a341.06073 700 $aKirgis$b Frederic L$0248510 712 02$aAmerican Society of International Law. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784792403321 996 $aThe American society of international law's first century$93725153 997 $aUNINA
