Emer de Vattel

philosopher Switzerland

Emer de Vattel was an influential Swiss philosopher and jurist, born in 1714, who is best known for his work 'The Law of Nations' (1758), which laid the groundwork for modern international law and diplomacy. His ideas on the rights of states and the principles of national sovereignty significantly influenced the framers of the American Constitution and the development of international relations. Vattel's emphasis on natural law and the rights of individuals helped shape Enlightenment thought and contributed to the philosophical underpinnings of both the United States and Switzerland's political systems.
