Einer von 9 Dokumentenbänden für das Genfer Schiedsgericht über finanzielle Ansprüche Englands durch die amerikanischen Beschlagnahmungen während des Nordamerikanischen Bürgerkrieges, den sogenannten "Alabama Claims". - "Am 15.9.1872 verurteilte ein in Genf tagendes Schiedsgericht Grossbritannien zur Zahlung einer hohen Entschädigung an die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, weil es im Sezessionskrieg seinen internat. Verpflichtungen zur Einhaltung strikter Neutralität nicht nachgekommen war. Gemäss Urteil beging die brit. Regierung eine schuldhafte Nachlässigkeit, indem sie zuliess, dass von ihrem Territorium aus zwanzig bewaffnete Schiffe -- darunter die Korvette "Alabama" -- an die aufständ. Südstaatler geliefert wurden. Der Genfer oder (geläufiger) Alabama-Schiedsspruch verdankt seine Bekanntheit einerseits seiner Bedeutung als Beispiel einer friedl. Konfliktregelung zwischen zwei Grossmächten. Zum andern stand bei dieser Affäre, die in den Vereinigten Staaten nach Beendigung des Bürgerkriegs hohe emotionale Wellen warf, für beide Länder polit., rechtl. und hinsichtl. des nationalen Prestiges sehr viel auf dem Spiel. Aus Schweizer Sicht ist erwähnenswert, dass der Schweizer Schiedsrichter, alt Bundesrat Jakob Stämpfli, im Schiedsverfahren eine entscheidende Rolle spielte und dass die Schlichtung dieses heiklen Streitfalls der Entwicklung Genfs zu einem internat. Forum förderl. war." (HLS). - Der vorliegende Band, aufwändig gebunden, vereinigt einen Teil der Korrespondenz zwischen einem Teil der Schiffe und der englischen Admiralität. - Titel mit gelöschtem Stempel des Schweiz. Bundesarchivs. Kanten leicht berieben. One of 9 volumes of documents for the Geneva Arbitration Court on the financial claims of England by the American seizures during the North American Civil War the so-called "Alabama Claims". - On 15.9.1872, an arbitral tribunal meeting in Geneva ordered Great Britain to pay high compensation to the United States of America because it had failed to meet its international obligations during the war of secession. It had failed to comply with its obligations to maintain strict neutrality. According to the judgement, the British government committed culpable negligence by allowing twenty armed ships -- including the "Alabama" corvette -- to rebel from its territory. Southerners were delivered. The Geneva or (common) Alabama arbitral award owes its fame on the one hand to its importance as an example of a peaceful, peaceful and peaceful world. Settlement of conflicts between two major powers. On the other hand, in this affair, which in the United States, after the end of the civil war, caused high emotional waves, a great deal was at stake for both countries politically, legally and in terms of national prestige. From a Swiss perspective, it is worth noting that the Swiss arbitrator, former Federal Councillor Jakob Stämpfli, played a decisive role in the arbitration process and that the arbitration of this delicate dispute has helped Geneva's development into an international centre of excellence. Forum." (HLS). The present volume, lavishly bound, unites part of the correspondence between some of the ships and the English admiralty. - Title with deleted stamp of Switzerland.

L'Allemagne déchire la Convention de Genève Germany ripping up the Geneva Convention
France S.P. 1914 Première édition. Une peinture à l'huile originale datée et signée 1914. Le tableau représente un oiseau de proie, coiffé d'un casque de soldat prussien, détruisant de ses serres un livre, qui est un exemplaire de la Convention de Genève (avec la Croix-Rouge). À l'arrière-plan, une ville est en feu et de la fumée s'élève près du clocher d'une église. Une peinture à l'huile habile sur une feuille de carton à dessin. Dans l'ensemble en bon état, mais avec une petite perte dans le coin inférieur droit (qui n'affecte pas l'image mais est proche de la signature). Il y a également un léger frottement sur l'oiseau de proie avec une très légère perte de peinture noire. L'image reste néanmoins saisissante. 33 cm x 24 cm. Louis-Georges Albert Morinet (1863-1926) était un artiste français actif à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle. Outre ses talentueuses peintures à l'huile, il a également dessiné des feuilles de caricatures militaires et des personnages pour Pellerin & Cie pour la série Imagerie d'Épinal en 1916. La Convention de Genève a été signée pour la première fois par 16 pays le 22 août 1864. La conférence a adopté la première convention, qui n'a pas eu beaucoup d'effet sur les conflits ultérieurs. Une conférence réunissant 35 États en juillet 1906 a abouti à l'adoption de la « Convention pour l'amélioration du sort des blessés et des malades dans les armées en campagne ». Il s'agissait de la première « Convention de Genève » telle que nous la connaissons, bien que la plupart des gens connaissent aujourd'hui mieux la Convention de 1949, qui était beaucoup plus large et, surtout, qui s'étendait pour la première fois au traitement des civils.
First edition. An original oil painting dated and signed 1914. The painting shows a bird of prey, wearing a Prussian soldier's helmet, destroying a book, which is a copy of the Geneva Convention (complete with a Red Cross) with its talons. In the background a town is ablaze and smoke rises near a church spire. A skilled oil painting on a sheet of art board. Overall in good condition, but with a little loss to the bottom right corner (not affecting image but close to the signature). There is also a slight rubbing to the bird of prey with very slight loss of black paint. Still a striking image. 33cm x 24cm. Louis-Georges Albert Morinet (1863-1926) was a French artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to skilled oil paintings, he also drew sheets of military caricatures and figures for Pellerin & Cie for the Imagerie d'Épinal series in 1916. The Geneva Convention was first signed by 16 countries on 22 August 1864. The conference adopted the first Convention which failed to have much effect in subsequent conflicts. A conference of 35 states in July 1906 resulted in the adoption of the "Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armies in the Field." This was the first "Geneva Convention" as we know it, although most people today are more familiar with the 1949 Convention, which was much wider, and importantly was extended to the treatment of civilians for the first time. .
