Abstract

The suffering inflicted on vulnerable people has attracted the interest of many thinkers since Antiquity. From Stoics to contemporary peace theorists, many scholars have proposed ways to prevent such suffering and achieve perpetual peace. This phenomenon lies at the heart of legal and political spheres because it has both legal and social foundations. A theory that focuses on the juridical side of the idea of perpetual peace is cosmopolitan law. It is based on Kantian ethics. Accordingly, a universal legal framework should be established to judge unlawful acts committed against vulnerable people. Cosmopolitan law is based on the idea that these unlawful acts cannot be confined to a single region as they wound the conscience of all humanity. The great violence committed during the world wars of the 20th century prompted the international community to unite around common legal values. The aim of this initiative was to condemn those responsible for these unlawful acts and to prevent the commission of new violence. It was following the Second World War that this idea was put into practice. The world was shaken by the very serious acts committed during this conflict, and later, in the 1990s. In the wake of large-scale inter-state and intra-state conflicts, four ad hoc criminal tribunals were set up in Germany, Japan, the former Yugoslavia, and Rwanda. This development agreed with the Kantian idea that certain crimes harm the conscience of all humanity and that perpetrators should be judged before the eyes of the international community through universal legal principles.
