History
Otfried Nippold was a lawyer and teacher whose focus was international law. His main interest laid in the concept of arbitration courts and he thus became involved in the Peace Movement. Although of German origin, he grew up in Switzerland and returned there at the outbreak of the First World War. He was appointed Professor of Law at the University of Bern and later became President of the Supreme Court of the Saar Region (then administrated by the League of Nations).
