Summary

This chapter focuses on an often-forgotten aspect in the story of Christianity and international law, namely, Judaism, Jews, and the Jew. More specifically, it discusses how Christian antisemitic sentiments – often serving as a precursor to further exclusion of the socially different “Other” – found their way into the doctrines and histories of international law. Antisemitism is a living legacy within Christianity and within the discipline of international law. The text explores this theme by revisiting one of the most famous “fathers” of international legal thought, Friedrich Carl von Savigny (1779–1861)
