The Evidence in the Case, written by James M. Beck in the late 19th century, examines the moral responsibility for the outbreak of World War I using diplomatic records from England, Germany, and Russia. Beck argues for the establishment of a 'Supreme Court of Civilization' to judge nations based on moral principles, critiquing militaristic philosophies and emphasizing the importance of international conscience. This work provides a legal framework for understanding the events leading to the war and advocates for accountability in state actions that threaten global peace.
