Jus Humanitatis: The Right of Humankind as Foundation for International Law

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.
