I begin with a brief survey of the historical development ofthe principles of state responsibility for injuries to foreigners.The status of aliens has in the course of time advanced from thatof a virtual state of outlawry,in the days of ancient Rome andthe Germanic tribes,to that of practical assimilation with nation-als,at the present-time.The royal protection of aliens and legalprovisions for punishing their murderers which prevailed in theeighth century seem to be the first phase in the development ofthe principle of responsibility,though the responsibility was indi-vidual rather than group.In the feudal period,the"droitd'aubaine,"the“droit de detraction”and other disabilities towhich aliens were subjected prevailed.In England,the“mur-drum”system made the hundred responsible for the murder ofNormans.This group responsibility seems to be the second phasein the development of the principle of responsibility.In themodern period,the growth of commerce and the movement fornatural rights swept away the disabilities mentioned above.Atpresent,the civil status of aliens is practically the same as thatof nationals.There has been a simultaneous development of thedoctrine of state responsibility for injuries to them and this seemsto be the third phase in the evolution of the principle of responsi-bility.Group responsibility,however,still prevails in EnglandFrance,Belgium,Germany and several states of the UnitedStates. In regard to the theories of state responsibility for injuries toforeigners,Grotius laid down some fundamental principles.Heregarded this problem as within the field of municipal law,andaccepted the old private law
