Hugo Grotius was a famous Dutch lawyer and statesman, philosopher, playwright and poet. He laid the foundations of New Age international law by developing a political and legal doctrine based on a new methodology, which contains original solutions to a number of problems of the general theory of law and state, as well as radical for that time program provisions. Grotius' key work, the treatise "On the Law of War and Peace", published in 1625 in France and dedicated to Louis XIII, developed and formulated a system of principles of natural law, the law of nations and public law. When writing it, the Dutch scientist pursued the following goals - to solve urgent problems of international law and to prove that in times of war the voice of the law should not be drowned out by the rumble of weapons. Hugo Grotius lived at the time of the Eighty Years' War between the Netherlands and Spain and the Thirty Years' War between Catholics and Protestants in Europe, he condemned aggressive, invasive wars and believed that such conflicts should be fought only for the sake of peace and subject to the principles of natural law - this attitude of the author and formed the basis of the treatise "On the Law of War and Peace".
