Case of the S.S. Lotus (France v. Turkey) (PCIJ 1927)

1927 PCIJ (Ser. A) No. 10

The Case of the SS Lotus remains a seminal case in international law, although the Permanent Court of International Justice, which rendered the decision, was (along with the League of Nations) dissolved in 1946 and replaced by the International Court of Justice, created in conjunction with the United Nations founded the previous year.
