Emer de Vattel
Diplomat and Jurist (born 1714)
Emmerich de Vattel (French pronunciation:[vatɛl] 25 April 1714 – 28 December 1767) was a philosopher, diplomat, and jurist.
Vattel's work profoundly influenced the development of international law.[2][3] He is most famous for his 1758 work The Law of Nations. This work was his claim to fame and won him enough prestige to be appointed as a councilor to the court of Frederick Augustus II of Saxony.
