限制战争:格劳秀斯主权理论新解

Restricting War: the New Explanation of Grotius' Sovereignty Theory

格劳秀斯希望能够限制战争,并通过为战争立法,使人类尽可能免受战争灾难。出于这一考虑,其主权理论的贡献不仅在于首次从国际法和国际关系层面对主权的内涵进行了阐释,而且在阐释主权内涵时体现出非常鲜明的限制战争的理念。格劳秀斯意图通过约束发动战争的主体来限制战争,其排斥人民主权的目的也在于限制战争。格劳秀斯从国际法层面立法限制战争的思想对后世产生了重要影响,也成为现代国际法中废弃战争和禁止战争思想的理论源头。

Hugo Grotius wanted to restrict war and legislate for war so that human could avoid the disaster of unnecessary war.Based on this consideration,his contribution to the interpretation of sovereignty theory not only lies on the explanation of sovereignty from the perspective of international law and international rela-tions for the first time,but also the idea of restricting war.Meanwhile,Grotius hoped to limit war by con-straining the forces conducting war,and his excluding the people’s sovereignty was also for this purpose. The thoughts of limiting war have a great influence on later generation,and become the theoretical source of obsoleting and baning war in modern international law.
