EDITORS COMMENTS
International Law - The Better Way" is a powerful and iconic image created by Thomas Nast for Harpers Weekly on November 14, 1874. The illustration depicts a boat named "The Arbitrator" carrying the flag of truce as it approaches the shores of Geneva. Two allegorical figures, Peace and Justice, are shown preparing to disembark from the boat. Peace is represented by a dove holding an olive branch, while Justice is depicted as a woman with a sword and scales. As the boat lands, European dignitaries, including the figure of John Bull, eagerly await their arrival under an archway emblazoned with the words "Welcome Peace Through Arbitration." This scene represents the growing recognition among nations that there is a "Better Way" to resolve their disputes than through war and conflict. The caption accompanying the image quotes Ulysses S. Grant, who at the time was serving as the President of the United States. Grant's words reflect the optimistic belief that the international community was becoming more civilized and that diplomacy and arbitration would become the preferred methods for resolving disputes. This image is a testament to the evolving nature of international relations during the late 19th century and the growing recognition of the importance of diplomacy and arbitration in resolving conflicts between nations. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring value of peaceful dispute resolution and the hope that one day, all nations will choose the "Better Way.
