What is S.S. Lotus Case: Jurisdiction in International Law about?

The S.S. Lotus Case (1927) involved a collision between a French ship and a Turkish ship, leading to the arrest of a French officer by Turkey. The Permanent Court of International Justice ruled that Turkey had jurisdiction to try the officer, establishing the Lotus Principle that states may act freely unless international law explicitly prohibits them. This case highlighted the autonomy of states in international law, although subsequent developments have placed restrictions on this principle.
