Non-seduction § 7
have gone before. It is impolitic: says he — perhaps
so.
and against this he raises [two] other objections besides those
which I have been endeavouring to solve to which I have been replying. If the criminal homicide
[the party thus proscribed] says he is you thus invite men to is to be committed, says he, out of your
dominions, by athe proscription is a breach of you violate the law of
nations: in infringement of you break in upon the jurisdiction of some
foreign state, and expose yourself to the calamities of
war. This ias far as it applies is true: and the nor
can the objection be obviated, till a code of international
law shall have been established for this purpose.
till nations shall have enacted by common consent a code
of international law for settling the limits of each
others jurisdictions and making common cause against
the enemies of mankind. If it is within
your own dominions, continues he, that the deed is
to be done, you betray your weakness: he who has
force power to defend himself does not go a begging for assistance.
Here I should imagine M. Beccaria had
fallen into an inadvertency. I know not to what the
examples are which he alludes to: but I should suppose
if there be an instance where a state governmenthas betaken
itself to this harsh expedient I should imagine
it was not the force strength of the offender that has drove them has been was their
to it inducement , but his weakness. Against fugitives, Great Britain,
foreign influence out of the question, would be as could do as
impotent little as St Marino. [Force is of no avail] against
a man who is not to be found. [power itself is impotent.
