Bynkershoek, Cornelius van (1673-1743)

 
     
  A Dutch jurist who was appointed a member of the Supreme Court of Holland in 1703 and its President in 1721. It was also in 1721 that he wrote in some haste and published De Foro Legatorum tam in causa civili quam criminali (The Jurisdiction over Ambassadors in both Civil and Criminal Cases). Sparked by recent controversies, one of which was the imprisonment of Wicquefort, the overwhelming majority of the principles of De Foro Legatorum - despite certain oddities - were soon firmly rooted in international law and practice. The book has been authoritatively described as ‘undoubtedly the greatest of the classical works on diplomatic law’.
