Offences reckoned as offences against the Law of Nations
differ in no respect from other offences [which are not so]
but in their object. The same injury which when committed
against a fellow-subject is universal, recogniz'd
as an offence against municiple Laws, when a foreigner
under certain circumstances happens to be the object
of it, it stiled an offence against the Law of Nations—
Now let us enquire what are these circumstances
and concerning this question, a very few observations will satisfy us.
The doctrine of local Allegiance & the reciprocal protection
resulting from it guards them in most instances
the injuries therefore which are said to be provided against
by the supposed Law of Nations will be such
as are not guarded against by that doctrine, Usages
& Treaties are to one another in the Public Jurisprudence
for rather Morality ) of Nations what common Law &
Statute Law are in the Municipal. Jurisprudence.
.....This could not escape the penetration of MrD'
Alembert— he has accordingly changed the title of this
branch of Science from that of Law to that of Morality
of Nations.
