4 Lauterpacht rejected positivism to the extent that it excluded norms of natural justice from positive international law. At the same time, he advocated positivizing an International Bill of Rights, thereby integrating natural justice into international law.

The opinion is dated Aug. 24, 1939. In the editor’s note, Eli Lauterpacht, Sir Hersch’s son and an authority in international law in his own right, says that this opinion, “so far as I can make out, [is] the first substantial opinion which he wrote—though he may have assisted the Chinese Government with a memorandum … at the time of the Manchurian crisis.”
