International Law Expert Louis Sohn
by Patricia Sullivan
© 2006 The Washington Post Company

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 -- Louis B. Sohn, 92, considered one of the world's greatest scholars of international law -- who helped draft the United Nations charter, define international human rights, and design disarmament agreements -- died of Alzheimer's disease June 7 at the Goodwin House West in Falls Church, Virginia.

A teacher and an advocate, Sohn wrote extensively on legal matters from human rights to environmental law.  As a law professor at Harvard University, the University of Georgia, and George Washington University, he taught a number of students who later became ambassadors to the United Nations.

"Professor Sohn has been an architect of much of modern international law," Edith Brown Weiss, a Georgetown law professor who is chairwoman of the World Bank inspection panel, said in a 2003 address honoring him.

He worked on the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and was important in establishing the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.  He shaped the Law of the Sea Convention and the Law of the Sea Tribunal, insisting that countries consider dispute settlement, and he drafted a text for the tribunal.

Born in what is now the Ukrainian city of Lviv, Mr. Sohn received degrees in science and law in 1935 from John Casimir University.  He stayed on as a researcher, but as a Jew, he was forced to enter the library early in the morning and leave late at night.

Invited to work as a research assistant and study for an advanced law degree at Harvard, he left Poland on one of the last boats to get out before the Nazi invasion.  However, upon his arrival in Massachusetts, Sohn was informed that the law professor who had invited him had just died.  Still, the law school dean found him a low-rent room and a job in a university cafeteria, and he entered Harvard, receiving a master's degree in law in 1940.  He then received a doctoral degree in law, also at Harvard, in 1961.

Sohn went on to participate in the San Francisco conference in 1945 that established the United Nations charter.

Sohn began teaching at Harvard, and became the Bemis Professor of Law in 1961.  After retiring from the Harvard faculty in 1981, he went to the University of Georgia to become the first holder of the Woodruff Chair in International Law.  In 1991, he moved to Washington to join the U.S. Institute of Peace and the George Washington University law faculty.  His knowledge of international law and attention to detail were legendary.

"The notion of challenging him on a factual or analytical point just does not occur to anyone I know," lawyer James Silkenat said in a 1990 article in the journal The International Lawyer.

Sohn spent 20 months as a counselor on international law at the State Department in 1970 and 1971, and was the U.S. delegate to the Law of the Sea Convention from 1974 to 1982.

Several international awards are named for him, and he served as chairman of the international law section of the American Bar Association and president of the American Society of International Law.  He was the first recipient of the International Environmental Law Award from the Washington-based Center for International Environmental Law in 2003.

Survivors include his wife of 65 years, Betty Mayo Sohn of Falls Church.

Remarks in Honor of Louis B. Sohn
by Francis A. Boyle
American University, Washington College of Law October 11, 1984

"Blessed Are The Peacemakers, for
They Shall Be Called the Children of God."
-- (Matthew 5:9)

It is a great privilege for me to have been asked by the organizer of this Conference, Tom Buergenthal, to say a few words in honor of our mutual teacher and mentor, Louis Sohn.

About 15 years ago, I commenced my study of international relations at the University of Chicago with the late Hans Morgenthau.  As I am sure you know, it is a cardinal tenet of self-styled political realists such as Morgenthau and his colleague George Kennan that international law and organizations are essentially irrelevant to matters of "high" international politics concerning conflicts between states over matters of vital national interest.  Morgenthau and Kennan carried this hypothesis one step further to argue that those who actually espoused the establishment of World Peace Through World Law, such as Grenville Clark and Louis Sohn, were naive, idealistic, and utopian.  Even more seriously, they maintained, such theories were in fact pernicious, because if the statesmen of the Western Democracies and their respective public opinions ever came to believe in them and to act accordingly, their necessarily altruistic foreign policies would simply encourage aggression by the tota litarian dictators of the Communist bloc.

In the opinion of political realists such as Morgenthau and Kennan, it was crucial for U.S. statesmen to understand that international relations consisted essentially of the Machiavellian law of power politics where, in the words of Thucydides, the strong do what they will, and the weak suffer what they must.  In this so-called zero-sum game of international politics, the pursuit of international law and organizations, let alone world government, would ineluctably prove fatal to their proponents and ultimately for all mankind.

Although I was, and still am, enamored of the analytical brilliance of Morgenthau, I could never accept his prescription of Machiavellian power politics as the legitimate basis for the proper conduct of international relations, especially by the United States of America, nor his rejection of world government as a practical solution to the impending doom of nuclear Armageddon.  Nevertheless, at the time I did not possess the intellectual apparatus and sophistication to develop an alternative approach to understanding the dynamic relationship between international law and politics.  I therefore decided that it would be necessary to continue my international studies at the Harvard Law School with none other than the bete-noire of Morgenthau's folklore -- Louis Sohn.  I took Louis' course on the United Nations Organization ten years ago this Fall.

There were many great teachers at the Harvard Law School, and Louis was certainly one of them.  There were likewise many great scholars at the Harvard Law School, and Louis was undoubtedly one of the most prolific members in the entire history of that faculty.  And yet what set Louis apart from all the rest of the great teachers and scholars at the Harvard Law School was his grand vision of creating a future world order based upon the rule of law.

Louis' powerful conveyance of that vision to all his students was far more important than any of the substantive rules of international law and organizations which he taught us.  And I think I speak for most of us when I say that much of the rest of my career has been spent -- and will continue to be spent -- attempting to comprehend, particularize, and effectuate, the ramifications of Louis' grand vision when it comes to the relatively mundane aspects of day-to-day international relations.  We all write glosses on the magna opera of Louis Sohn.

Not surprisingly, Louis has lived to witness the conversion of his two most formidable intellectual adversaries: Hans Morgenthau and George Kennan.  During a private seminar held at Harvard's Center for International Affairs in 1978, Morgenthau explicitly repudiated Machiavellian power politics in favor of international law, international organizations and world government.  And when I specifically asked him if this meant he finally agreed with that same Louis Sohn whose theories he had been castigating for the past twenty years, Morgenthau responded: "Sohn and I might start from different principles, but we have arrived at the same conclusion."  See 10 Calif. W. Int'l L.J. 217-19 (1980).

About four years later, George Kennan reached the exact same conclusion in an essay entitled 'On Nuclear War', published in the January 21, 1982 issue of the New York Review of Books:

"Nearly a quarter of a century ago, Grenville Clark and Louis B. Sohn put forward, in a monumental work entitled 'World Peace Through World Law', their ideas for a program of universal disarmament, and for a system of world law to replace the chaotic and dangerous institution of unlimited national sovereignty upon which international life was then and is now based.

"To many of us -- and I think particularly those of us who had been in the practice of diplomacy -- these ideas looked, at the time, impractical, if not naive.  Today, two decades later, and in the light of what has occurred in the interval, the logic of them is more compelling.

"It is still too early for their realization on a universal basis; but efforts to achieve the limitation of sovereignty in favor of a system of international law on a regional basis are another thing; and when men begin to come seriously to grips with this possibility, as I think they will, it is to the carefully thought-out and profoundly humane ideas of Grenville Clark and Louis Sohn that they will have to turn for inspiration and guidance."

So despite their innate genius, it took Morgenthau and Kennan more than twenty years to realize the profound wisdom of Louis' grand vision.

It is one of the greatest of all tributes to Louis that these two mortal intellectual enemies have come to subscribe to the Clark-Sohn Proposals, if only during the twilight of their careers.  And perhaps we, as students of Louis, can all take some small degree of satisfaction in this vindication of our teacher's perspicuity.

But I submit that in all honor to Louis, we really cannot afford to do so.  For although the founders of modern Machiavellian power politics, such as Morgenthau and Kennan, have changed their minds on this subject, most tragically they have left in their wake an entire generation of American foreign policy decision-makers who really believe that international law and organizations are totally irrelevant to the conduct of international relations, and, even more insidiously, that the proper way in which the United States government should conduct its foreign affairs is accurately prescribed by Machiavelli's 'The Prince'.

This endemic attitude of legal nihilism towards international relations reached its apotheosis in the Vietnam War.  And if you read the memoirs of more recent American statesmen such as Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Alexander Haig, you will find that Machiavellianism still remains the predominant mode of thought about international relations among the members of today's U.S. foreign affairs and defense decision-making establishment.

Therefore, I propose that it is up to each one of us as students of Louis to bring his grand vision of 'World Peace Through World Law' to bear upon the current and future generations of American foreign policy decision-makers.  If we can successfully perform this task, then that achievement would be the best and most fitting honor which any of his students could ever bestow upon Louis.

Participants from the Department of State, Department of Defense, other key U.S. government organizations, and the United Nations are discussing the evolving nature of peacekeeping; ways to strengthen performance and operational readiness of peacekeeping units; and efforts to address sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers. Participants will also review ongoing GPOI activities, share implementers' best practices, and discuss program priorities for the years ahead.

GPOI represents the U.S.'s primary global investment for strengthening international capacity and capabilities to execute peace operations around the world. The GPOI program accomplishes this goal by enhancing partner-country capabilities to train and sustain peacekeeping proficiencies and by building the capacity of the UN and regional organizations to conduct such missions.

GPOI has created a tangible return on investment by helping to expand the base of capable peacekeepers. For example, GPOI partners have increased their military deployment rates to UN and African Union (AU) peace operations by 161 percent since becoming GPOI partners. Additionally, GPOI is helping the majority of its partner countries develop critical enabling capabilities which are in short supply in UN and regional peace operations, such as aviation, engineering, logistics, and medical support. GPOI is also helping partner countries recognize the important role women play in peace operations. For example, over the past five years, active GPOI partners have increased the number of female military peacekeepers deployed by 62 percent. GPOI's positive impact can be seen in virtually every UN or regional organizations' peace operation around the world today.
