Note 509 — Chapter VII · END OF WAR, AND POSTLIMINIUM

The assertion of many writers, that such contracts between subjects of belligerents as have been suspended by the outbreak of war revive ipso facto by the conclusion of peace is not the outcome of a rule of International Law. But just as Municipal Law may suspend such contracts ipso facto by the outbreak of war, so it may revive them ipso facto by the conclusion of peace. See above, § 101.
