Abstract
This chapter surveys the views of the Attorneys General on several broad topics of the law of nations. At the outset, opinions relating to international persons — the subjects and objects of international law — receive attention. The remaining portions of the chapter deal with opinions given in connection with recognition of states and governments and problems of state and governmental succession.
