Emer de Vattel
b. 4.25.1714 Couvet, Val-de-Travers, Switzerland
d. 12.26.1767 Couvet, Val-de-Travers, Switzerland
Couvet
Couvet was a municipality in Val-de-Travers in the western part of Switzerland. It merged with eight
other municipalities to form the administrative district of Val-de-Tavers in 2009. The region is known
for its production of absinthe.
The municipality is located in a valley in the Neuchâtel Jura. The Jura Mountains are a sub-alpine
range located north of the Western Alps. The range mainly follows the course of the France–Switzerland border. The valley provides a connection between the Swiss plateau and Franche-Comte.

The river L'Areuse flows the length of the valley. Most of this river is shallow and about 10 meters wide.
It narrows into a gorge near Noiraigue. This river has provided much of the water and fish for the valley.
Val-de-Travers had a population of 10,745 as of December 2017. Most of the population (as of 2000)
speaks French (88.9%) as their first language. Italian is the second most common (3.0%) and German
is the third (2.7%) most common language.
Emer de Vattel
Emer de Vattel was born at Couvet, in Neuchâtel on April 25, 1714.The principality was ruled by the kings
of Prussia. He was the youngest son of David Vattel and Marie de Montmollin.
His father was a Protestant clergyman ennobled in 1727 by the king of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm I. He
was the head of the local congregation of ministers. His mother was the daughter of the principality’s
ambassador to the Prussian court.
Emer was enrolled as a student of the humanities at the University of Basel from 1728 to 1730. He
attended courses on Samuel Pufendorf given by the Huguenot minister Pierre Roques.
Pufendorf had developed a theory about the moral relationships of agents, the authority and duties of
states and the lawful interactions among these. His chief objective was to avoid destructive social conflict
and the devolution on any level into the antagonistic and self-defeating condition known as the state of nature.
Pufendorf’s approach was secular, non-metaphysical and anti-authoritarian. It eschewed religious appeals,
scholastic dogma, essentialism, teleology and the frequent mix of these that appealed to many German
thinkers, Catholic and Protestant alike.
scholastic dogma, essentialism, teleology and the frequent mix of these that appealed to many German
thinkers, Catholic and Protestant alike.
He built on Bodin, Lipsius, Grotius, Hobbes and the Italian reason-of-state tradition. Pufendorf is known
as a voluntarist in ethics, a sovereignty theorist in politics and a realist in international relations theory.

His kind of natural law is called ‘modern' but it echoed the tradition of the Roman Republic. His law of
nature and nations was an exercise in the consideration of international relations, but it obscured respect
for boundaries.

Emer went to Geneva to pursue theological and metaphysical studies in 1733. One of his teachers was
Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui. It was under Burlamaqui’s tutelage that Vattel developed the principle of the
right of people as the law of nations.

He wrote a series of essays, several of which appeared in Switzerland’s leading literary journal, the
Neuchâtelbased Journal Helvétique in 1740 and 1741. He wrote a lengthy defense of the philosophy of
Leibniz. The Lausanne professor of philosophy and mathematics Jean-Pierre de Crousaz claimed it was
atheism.

Vattel dedicated his defense to Friedrich II. The dedication earned him an invitation from the French
ambassador in Berlin to come to the court of the prince whose subject he was by birth. He failed to
obtain a diplomatic position.

He moved to Dresden due to financial difficulties in 1743. He was promised employment by Count Brühl,
first minister of Elector Friedrich August II of Saxony. The same man that served as the Elector of Saxony
was also the elective king of Poland. His name was August III for that position.

Vattel spent the next three years in Neuchâtel waiting for orders from Dresden. He wrote essays and
studied the works of the German philosopher Christian Wolff while he waited.

The essays were about the relation between natural and political law. The first asked the question, can
natural law bring society to perfection without the political form? The second was about the first principle
of the obligation to observe law. Both were published in 1746.

Vattel remained in Neuchâtel for much of the next ten years. He sent a stream of letters to Brühl
complaining of his ill health and dire financial circumstances. This turned out to be the most productive
period of his life despite the complaint.

Marcus Aurelius and between Henry IV of France and his adviser Sully.

He wrote his masterpiece, Les Droit des Gens (The Right of People) which appeared in Neuchâtel at the
end of 1757. The title is translated as The Law of Nations. The work established him as an authority on
natural jurisprudence. He has been identified as an international lawyer.

Nations According to the Scientific Method) by Christian Wolff. Jus Gentium can be translated as the
Right of People.

Vattel's work began by translating Wolff's text from Latin and adding his own thoughts. His thought was
heavily influenced by Gottfried Leibniz and Hugo Grotius. It focused largely on the rights and obligations
of citizens and states

affairs.

He married Marie de Chêne, the daughter of a Huguenot noble family, in 1764. They had a son.
Charles W.F. Dumas sent Benjamin Franklin three original French copies in 1775. He said that this book
by Vattel "has been continually in the hands of the members of our Congress now sitting".
A copy owned by the New York Society Library had been borrowed by President George Washington on
8 October 1789 along with a copy of Vol. 12 of the Commons Debates containing transcripts from Great
Britain's House of Commons. The book was found to be overdue after his death.

Vattel was one of a number of 18th century European scholars who wrote on international law.
These authors were "well known in America" at the time. They included Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui,
Cornelius van Bynkershoek, Hugo Grotius, Samuel von Pufendorf, Thomas Rutherforth, Niccolo
Machiavelli and Wolff. The Law of Nations has been described as "unrivaled among such treatises in its
influence on the American founders."

The Swiss republic in which Vattel did his research was different from the Dutch version in that it was a
federation that allowed for different forms of government in different cities.

The basic reason for the republic was not unique to Rome. Commerce with other nations had been
adopted as the primary goal for the organization of the state by the Phoenicians, the Greeks and the
Carthaginians. The Chinese still use the principle. They don't have the term limits. The others had
monarchs.

The idea was that the cost for military action was to be kept at a minimum by negotiation in relation to the
protection of trade. The extreme restriction of political benefit from the one year term limit for the executive
office however made plunder the only way to accumulate enough wealth to support the military force
needed to protect trade.

The patricians held the official authority in the senate. They divided the world for their benefit. Those who
aspired to power in the Roman state went through the course of offices in order to become a patrician.

from attack, whether staged, fictional or actual was established as perpetual.

The Dutch and the Swiss employed mercenaries for the protection of trade in the city and outside of it as
necessary. When mercenaries limited their role to defense, they earned their pay. When they staged events
to make their service look invaluable, they were subversive at least and international terrorists at the
worst.

Vattel claimed that this “delightful dream” for cooperation among nations based on rights in law was
derived directly from human nature. He acknowledged that “most nations aim only to strengthen and
enrich themselves at the expense of others” in the Law of Nations (bk. II, §16).

Prudence in statecraft actually prevented existing states from making mutual aid the guiding principle
of foreign politics. This suggested that states ought to content themselves with a morally less appealing,
but nevertheless workable, order based on the balance of power.

Vattel explained this acknowledgment of the realities of modern European politics on two grounds. The
first was the theoretical incoherence of previous natural law theories with regard to the duties of perfectly
independent states.

Here he turned against Wolff’s idea of a civitas maxima (largest city). He claimed that Wolff had rightly
distinguished between two forms of the law of nations. There was an immutable or necessary right of
people that signified the law of nature applied to individual states.

There was also a voluntary regulation which defined the necessary limitations of natural law within the

harm.
