Tobias Michael Carel Asser (28 April 1838 – 29 July 1913) was a Dutch lawyer and legal scholar who is best known for his contributions to international law.
His work focused on the development of international law and the promotion of peaceful dispute resolution.
He played a key role in the establishment of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague. He was one of the driving forces behind the first Hague Peace Conference in 1899, where the idea of creating the PCA was discussed and eventually agreed upon. Asser’s work on the establishment of the PCA paved the way for the development of modern international arbitration and helped to promote the peaceful settlement of international disputes.
He was also involved in the development of the Hague Convention on International Law, which was adopted in 1899 and served as the basis for the development of modern international law. He wrote several influential books on international law, including “International Law: A Treatise” and “An International Convention for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes”.
