Abstract
Jan Smuts played a central role in the establishment of the Commonwealth of Nations, the League of Nations and the UN and secured a place in the history books as the author of the Preamble to the Charter of the United Nations approved in San Francisco in 1945, which marks the entry of the term ‘human rights’ into the founding treaty of the new organisation. The revival of interest in the figure of Smuts has involved historians of law and international organisations, political historians, historians of political thought and scholars of comparative politics and international relations.
