Hugo Grotius was a famous Dutch jurist and statesman, philosopher, playwright, and poet. He laid the foundations of modern international law by developing a political and legal doctrine based on a new methodology that contained original solutions to a number of problems in the general theory of law and the state, as well as radical programmatic provisions for that time. In Grotius's key work, the treatise "On the Law of War and Peace," published in 1625 in France and dedicated to Louis XIII, a system of principles of natural law, the law of nations, and public law was developed and formulated. In writing this work, the Dutch scholar pursued the following goals: to address current issues in international law and to prove that the voice of the law should not be drowned out by the noise of weapons during war. Hugo Grotius lived during the Eighty Years' War between the Netherlands and Spain and the Thirty Years' War between Catholics and Protestants in Europe. He condemned aggressive, expansionist wars and believed that such conflicts should only be pursued for the sake of peace and should adhere to the principles of natural law - this author's stance formed the basis of the treatise "On the Law of War and Peace."
