Drake's booty, as well as my good friend Captain Hawkins's, is lawful prize, as being taken from the Spaniard, who is not only hostis humani generis, but has no right to the same, having robbed it violently, by torture and extreme iniquity, from the poor Indian, whom God avenge, as He surely will."

'The state', says Treitschke, 'is the highest thing in the external society of man: above it there is nothing at all in the history of the world. There is here no room for comity of nations; for a societas totius humani generis; for international law in any true sense. What really exists is the exclusive state der geschlossene Staat and in another sense than that of Fichte.
