Friedrich Fromhold Martens, also known as Friedrich Fromhold von Martens, lived from August 27, 1845 to June 19, 1909 and was a diplomat and jurist in the service of the Russian Empire who made important contributions to the science of international law. He represented Russia at the Hague Peace Conferences, during which he drafted the Martens Clause, and he helped settle the first cases of international arbitration, notably the dispute between France and the United Kingdom over Newfoundland. As a scholar he is probably best remembered today for having edited fifteen volumes of Russian international treaties between 1874 and 1909.
