American Society for the Judicial Settlement of International Disputes
The American Society for the Judicial Settlement of International Disputes was organized in Baltimore on the 6 February 1910, at the residence of Theodore Marburg.[1] The organization aimed for not only the creation of a permanent tribunal for the judicial settlement of international conflicts, but also wanted to create the sentiment that the international controversies should be resolved by a permanent international court.[2] The Society was the forerunner of the League to Enforce Peace, which developed into the League of Nations concept and ultimately into the United Nations.
The Society planned to establish a permanent tribunal at The Hague.
William Howard Taft was its first president. Theodore Marburg was its president from 1913 to 1916.
