The Panama Canal Conflict Between Great Britain and the United States of America: A Study, written by L. Oppenheim in the early 20th century, explores the diplomatic tensions surrounding the Panama Canal's construction and operation. It focuses on the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty and the differing interpretations of its Article III, particularly regarding the United States' exemption of its vessels from tolls, which Oppenheim argues creates discrimination against foreign nations. This scholarly work emphasizes the significance of international law and arbitration in resolving such conflicts, providing a critical analysis of treaties and diplomatic relations of the time.
