The October Revolution and the adoption of the revolutionary Mexican Constitution in 1917 challenged fundamental concepts of international law, leading to the development of laws relating to the use of force, intervention, human rights, investment, alien protection, and state responsibility.

The October Revolution and the adoption of the revolutionary Mexican Constitution in 1917 marked a seismic shift in the global order, presenting profound and enduring challenges to international law. These events called into question fundamental concepts such as property, statehood, and non-intervention, and even the essence of law itself. This collection explores the lessons we can draw from analyzing how different sub-fields of international law have remembered, forgotten, imagined, incorporated, rejected, or sought to manage the revolutions of 1917. It reveals that these revolutions had far-reaching consequences for the development of laws related to force, intervention, human rights, investment, alien protection, and state responsibility, as well as for the global economy subsequently enabled by international law and governed by international institutions. The diverse legacies of 1917 continue to shape political struggles in the realm of international law, shaping the trajectory of global governance and international relations.
