Abstract

[It could be argued that the failures to create an international judicial body that would be empowered to prosecute war criminals over the course of the nineteenth century, which witnessed the outstanding impacts of the Industrial Revolution on arms technology, significantly contributed to the outbreak of World War I. Although it is not possible to prove that point with certainty, it is clear that power politics and the struggle between nations over sharing the world’s economic and strategic assets were the major reasons for the war. The fact that the warring parties largely ignored the sanctity of human life led to a deadly war.]
