The official print edition of the Government of the Russian Federation, "Russian Nespaper" published an article by Evgeny Karnoukhov, Managing Partner of Alliance Legal Consulting Group, in the frame of XII St. Petersburg International Legal Forum.
The architecture of the program is opened by a large-scale block devoted to international law in the new realities, which is especially relevant in today's situation. In this connection, we would like to recall that it was the Russian Empire and Russian legal science that stood at the origins of modern international law, the crisis of which we are now witnessing.
Exactly 125 years ago, in May-July 1899, the first International Peace Conference was held in The Hague (Netherlands) on the initiative and under the Russian presidency.
Subsequently, the end of the Russian Empire overshadowed in the public consciousness everything that the last Russian emperor, his government and domestic legal scholars had done to save mankind from impending disasters with the help of law. And after all, the great in its nobility idea of "world peace" belonged to the Russian legal thought, which secured from Nicholas II the political will so necessary for its realization.
How Russia was the first to show mankind the way to get rid of the horrors of war with the help of law read in the full version of the article on the website of "Lawyer's Newspaper" - the official media partner of the XII St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, June 26 - 28, 2024.
