Also, the research at the Institute was supposed to strengthen the overall German legal position in relation to the foreign powers.
Deutschlands Rolle bei der Gründung des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofes (German Edition)
The memorandum of held: On a foreign arbitrator or on an adversary in negotiations, especially those arguments will make an impression, which stem from his conceptual world. How important a systematic observation of foreign scientific statements is, knows everyone, who is aware of the meticulously organized propaganda of our neighbors in the West and East.
They understand, long before a legal issue leads to diplomatic negotiations or is presented to an international court for decision, to influence the academic opinion in their favor. Hence, the KWI was supposed to influence and alter the international legal discourse from a German perspective. The memorandum of underlined:. The work can and must be carried out as a German scientific enterprise without any assistance and influence of foreign countries.
It is the task of German science because today the theoretical systematic training of German lawyers is still superior to that of foreigners. The work has to be carried out as German, because After the National Socialist takeover, international legal scholarship in Germany changed significantly.
The new leadership drove numerous international lawyers of Jewish origin and pacifist convictions into exile. With the expansion of the German Reich after , this politicized sociological approach was even further radicalized. Friedrich Berber, a leading propagandist for Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, formulated the programme for international legal research in light of the imminent war:.
Instead of dead formulas and abstract terms, the politics of international law come to the fore as the academic observation of the concrete political international law, as the treatment of international law under the dynamic aspect of transformation, the struggle of new ideas with old formulas. Soon a geopolitical and racist vision for the reconstruction of Europe started to compete in German international legal scholarship.
With the exception of these geopolitically and ideologically informed theories, formalist, practice-oriented international law did not lose its relevance under National Socialism. However, support for the National Socialist policy objectives had its limits. Neither Bruns, nor his deputy Ernst Martin Schmitz, had applied for membership in the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, and only one of the six department heads joined the party. Furthermore, the Institute continued to keep the avenues for foreign exchange open. This was not the typical German position. International lawyers from outside the Institute suggested that it should consider the applicability of the Hague Conventions in Poland only because this argument played a role in foreign literature.
For instance, when the question arose how prisoners of war should be treated, who had been released and later retained again, the legal experts advocated to grant the protection of the Hague Conventions. After , the practice-oriented approach started to become dominant in German international legal scholarship.
The re-established German Society of International Law focused mainly on issues directly linked to pertinent practical questions like the legal status of Germany, the legal structure of international organizations and the relation between the Grundgesetz and international law. Hermann Mosler, born in , personified the link between the old KWI tradition and the German research focus after like no one else.
A research assistant at the KWI since , he had been strongly influenced by the thinking of Bruns and Schmitz.

Mosler stemmed from a Catholic bourgeois family. His father had supported the Catholic Zentrum party and had been pushed to leave his position as chief justice of the Regional Court in Bonn after the National Socialist takeover. After , Mosler quickly became one of the most influential and most respected West German international lawyers. Besides heading the MPI for more than 20 years — , he sat as the first German judge at the European Court of Human Rights — and became the first German judge at the International Court of Justice — Three reasons motivated Mosler to continue with a practice-oriented approach to legal scholarship.
Third, he regarded practice-oriented research as a promising avenue that would lead towards a legal community at the international level. For Mosler, the different degrees of rapprochement to the racial ideology of the National Socialists had methodological implications for the post-war period. In his view, the line between discredited and not-discredited colleagues ran along different methodological preferences.
This became particularly evident during a lecture that Mosler held in in Heidelberg on the topic of constitutional law during the National Socialist era. By accumulation of citations, [Hermann Mosler] explained to his Auditorium, how legal scholars of rank applauded to the new political order, and with their constitutional constructions tried to understand, justify and support the Nazi regime. As a preliminary point, Mosler used the writings of Carl Schmitt, E. Degeneration of the scientific and legal method Entartung der wissenschaftlich-juristischen Methode and ignorance of the facts of the Third Reich characterize the … theory of leadership, which sank into barbarism and came off in an apocalyptic finale.
This depiction of National Socialist constitutional law demonstrates that Mosler regarded the opening for new theoretical concepts as a unifying element of the discredited legal scholarship. In his view, scholars affiliated with National Socialism had left the formal legal research agenda behind and had reinterpreted law in the interest of the National Socialist ideology. From this interpretation of the past, Mosler concluded that a formalist practice-oriented approach was the right one.
In his view, because of its orientation towards practice, the KWI had not given in to National Socialist pressure in the same way as other institutions. Of course, this was only part of the truth. As we have seen, the KWI was involved in the legal justification of the foreign policy of the National Socialist government, at least insofar as that mirrored national conservative positions.

Notoriously, even the Nuremberg laws were accompanied by legal formalist commentary. Moreover, Mosler was not the only one who after regarded the practice-oriented approach as a counter model to National Socialist approaches. It is striking that some of the international lawyers, who had embraced the National Socialist ideology during the s, turned to practice after Eberhard Menzel was said to be a pragmatist and practice-oriented lawyer, even though in the s he had proposed to rethink international law in light of the National Socialist agenda.
One further reason why the practice-oriented approach took hold in Germany after was because of its value for German foreign policy. The involvement of Mosler in this policy is particularly telling. Mosler tried to benefit from his experience as a legal advisor in his academic research.
While the obligations of the parties could still be assessed according to international law, the Community had a constitutional structure. Mosler was not the only German international lawyer after who took this route. Various scholars stressed the relevance of international law for West Germany. At the same time, the practical approach contained a conscious, political programme.

By limiting oneself to strictly legal argumentation, one tried to regain the trust of the Western world. At the meeting of the German Society of International Law in , Mosler argued that the German science of international law:. The weight of the voices, speaking at this conference, will be the heavier, the more the temptation is resisted, to encroach on economic and political problems, Thereby, Mosler asked his German colleagues to approach international law from a legal perspective.
For him, this was the avenue to enhance international exchange, especially when approaching foreign scholars. Accordingly, he opened the MPI for international discussions on legal questions with increasing success. While, during the s, the West German discipline was often preoccupied with its own problems war criminal tribunals, the legal status of Germany, international law and the Basic Law , this soon started to change.
In the s and s, Mosler invited foreign colleagues to various colloquia on topics like human rights protection in Europe. Besides supporting Western integration, the practice-oriented approach also seems to have been motivated by a belief in the international rule of law. For the first time since the s, the Curatory chose a Germany-based international lawyer to deliver the General Course.

West German international legal scholarship had finally regained its good reputation in international legal discourse. Mosler based his lecture on a broad overview of the practice of international law. In his chapters on international subjects, the sources of international law, state responsibility, international organizations, international economic law and the peaceful settlement of disputes, he depicted and interpreted international treaty law and analysed relevant state practice.
Mosler even detected highest principles in the international legal order, similar to the constitutional order at the domestic level. The public order of the international community … consists of principles and rules the enforcement of which is of such vital importance to the international community as a whole that any unilateral action or any agreement which contravenes these principles can have no legal force.
The reason for this follows simply from logic: This reading of international law was strongly influenced by the development of international practice.
