Carlos Calvo (historian)

Carlos Calvo (February 26, 1824, Buenos Aires – May 2, 1906, Paris) was an Argentine publicist and diplomat who made influential contributions to international law.

Remaining in France, he published in 1863 his Derecho internacional teórico y práctico de Europa y America, in two volumes, and at the same time brought out a French version.

[4] According to Kathryn Greenman, Calvo's article influenced later international legal debates about state responsibility for rebel actions.

[4] Calvo's work influenced diplomats from Latin America to codify international law to prohibit military interventions by creditors to collect debt.

In the following year he was Argentine minister at Berlin, and published his Dictionnaire du droit international publique et privat in that city.
