Tanaka K_tar_ and World Law; .

The book delves into the life and contributions of Tanaka Kōtarō, a pivotal yet overlooked figure in 20th-century global political thought. As Japan's foremost legal scholar and longest-serving Chief Justice, his influence spanned all branches of government and international law. Notably, he critiqued international law for its imperialistic nature and proposed a theory of World Law grounded in Natural Law, approached from a Japanese perspective. The work aims to introduce Tanaka's ideas to an English-speaking audience, challenging biases in human rights and legal philosophy.
