<p>This article examines the beginning of the development of international law through codification in the early 1920s. Particular attention is to be given to the role of Elihu Root, a prominent American international lawyer, for leading the interwar international law-making process.</p><p>It is common now for historians that the League of Nations played a pivotal role for advancing international law during the interwar period. Little known is perhaps the fact that the peacemakers gathered in Paris in 1919 for negotiating the Covenant of the League did not place great value on the enhancement of the international legal system. In fact, the role of international law expected in the Covenant was explicitly meager. Root was a key figure who earnestly tried to turn the things around. With his substantial leadership, the first major effort for post-war international law-making was made in the Washington Conference of 1921–1922, which successfully produced a treaty banning the wartime use of submarine against merchant vessels and of poisonous gases.</p><p>This study shows that as the League failed to launch a project for codification in the first Assembly in 1920, Root’s fruitful initiative outside Geneva demonstrated that the United States would be a more effective guardian of the rule of law in the international domain than the League.</p>
