Vasily Nezabitovsky
Introduction '''Vasily Andreyevich Nezabitovsky''' (; ; 1824 — 1883)  was a jurist, born in Radomyshl in the Kiev Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine). He graduated from Kyiv University of St. Vladimir. In 1853, Nezabitovsky transferred to the faculty of international law at Kyiv University.
Contributions Nezabitovsky is best known for his study of international law and his conception of a global law versus an international law, in the sense of law between nations. Global law   or  general / omnisocial law  meant to protect an individual against allegiance to a given government or state. Omnisocial law was thus one of the first manifestations of international human rights law. Nezabitovsky's saw international law  as merely the protection of state's rights vis a vis  other states. Omnisocial law was meant to act as a limit on international law.
