Since the end of Wolf Legal Publishers, it took considerable time and effort to restore this website.  During those years much, very much has changed for the worse in world politics.

We are now living through the Third World War since Putin invaded Ukraine. As I lived through the Second World War and belong to those who believed in and worked for an era of peace, European Unification and a better world legal order, this is particularly painful. 

World attention now  focussed on the Gaza War, Is very shortsighted. What is happening in Ukraine is far worse  to world peace, international law and state security. Even to the point that the UN Charter may well be thrown in the waste basket.after this war. Both of its two principles: sovereign equality of member states and peace  and security on the basis of  agreement among the permanent members of the UN Security Council have been mortally violated and abolished.

The era of Détente as we called it, was0 considered to be a fairly stable and long-lasting political condition, even after Soviet tanks crushed Dubcek’s socialism with a human face in Pragu

European Unification into the Twenty First Century

Footprints of the 20th Century - Third Edition

Description

The story of European Unification is fascinating. In 1950, two sworn enemies – France and Germany – decide to seek reconciliation and European federal unity. As a first step, they created the European Coal and Steel Community together with Italy and the Benelux countries. The fathers of this new Europe were visionary persons.
