One proponent of legalism has been Hans Kelsen. In Peace Through Law, which was published toward the end of the Second World War, Kelsen argued that if the big powers were satisfied in their territorial claims, then following the war they could agree on a legalistic scheme for order. For the endproduct of that scheme, he stated that “it is quite possible that the idea of a universal World Federal State will be realized. Obviously, [however] at first only an international union of states, not a federal state could be set up. That means that the solution of the problem of a durable peace can be sought only within the framework of international law.”
