	Grotius Bio: The Online Library of Liberty
		Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) was a Dutch scholar and jurist whose legal masterpiece, De Jure Belli ac Pacis (On the law of war and peace) [1625], contributed significantly to the formation of international law as a distinct discipline.
		Grotius is often considered one of the first to separate natural law from divine law, but the distinction is not always easy to perceive.
		Grotius claimed that just as the desire for community necessitates certain laws and principles to hold society together for mutual benefit, so the community of nations is held together by certain natural principles.

	Hugo Grotius (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Winter 2005 Edition)
		Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) [Hugo, Huigh or Hugeianus de Groot] was a towering figure in philosophy, law, political theory and associated fields during the seventeenth century and for hundreds of years afterwards.
		Grotius didn't particularly enjoy the practice of law — in letters he voiced complaints familiar to today's lawyers, bemoaning the tedium of the work and obstreperous clients — so he closed his firm upon being made Attorney General.
		Grotius, Oldenbarnevelt and other supporters of religious tolerance were aligned on the side with the reformers or "Remonstrants"; Maurice, the Calvinist establishment and other so-called "Contra-Remonstrants" were on the other.

		Grotius' escape from Loevestein, in a chest supposed to contain books, has been popularised in Dutch history, and unfortunately the escape story seems to be more important to the average Dutchman than the books Grotius wrote.

		Grotius: Now and then a cause of such imperious necessity occurs, as to demand the decision of the sword, and that is when, as Florus says, the desertion of a right will be followed by calamities far more cruel than the fiercest wars.
		Grotius: As to the argument in favor of universal dominion from its being so beneficial to mankind, it may be observed that all its advantages are counterbalanced by still greater disadvantages.

		But Grotius desired to be complete and comprehensive, esteeming lack of historical documentation (from which alone the rules of the law of nations can be proved) to be the chief fault of previous writers.
		In assessing Grotius' works taken as a whole, then, it can be concluded that this premier theorist in modern international law was most certainly not an eclectic, nor was he a naturalist in the modern sense of the word.
		Thus, Grotius must be regarded as one of the chief expounders of the basic ideals that are contained in documents like the League of Nations Covenant, the United Nations Charter, and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

		Hugo Grotius was studying the laws of nations at the same time as Locke; and in him the very same methods may be found as those already mentioned, inasmuch as he also falls into a quite empirical system of associating nations with one another, combining with that an empirical mode of reasoning.
		In it Grotius presented a comparative historical account, the material of which was partly derived from the Old Testament, of the manner in which nations in the various relationships of war and peace have acted towards one another, and what usages they held to be binding.
		And, as in the case of Grotius, it was also true of Puffendorf, that the instinct of mankind — that is, the social instinct, andc.

		In the present classical-historical and legal-historical text Grotius' work is examined concerning its relation to the classical and early Christian period.
		The investigation proceeds in two steps: first, in analyzing his system of references, the scope of Grotius' concern with classical in comparison to contemporary writings is quantitatively ascertained and evaluated.
		Subsequently, he verifies and substantiates this conclusion in discussing four topic-complexes: Grotius' attention to the sources of a binding multilateral international law, to the subjects of international law, to titles to territorial claims, as well as to the law with respect to limitations on war, to neutrality and to diplomatic law.
