National insurance. The (English) National Insur-ance Act, 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5, c. 55), introduced by Mr. Lloyd George, established a wide system of compulsory state insurance covering both ill-health and unemployment, which is based upon premiums contributed in part by the employer, in part by the employee, and in part by the State. The Act consisted of three parts, the first dealing with National Health Insurance, the second with Unemployment Insurance, and the third contained miscellaneous provisions. This Act remained the basis of National Health Insurance, although the subject of very extensive amendment, until the National Health Insurance Act, 1924, consolidated the law. The law has been consolidated again by the (English) National Health Insurance Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5, and 1 Edw. 8, c. 32), amends and repeals the whole of the Acts passed in 1920, 1922, 1924 and 1928.

Nationality and citizenship
Nationality and citizenship, 'Nationality' and 'citizenship' are interchangeable terms. 'Nationality' has reference to the jural relationship which may arise for consideration under international law. On the other hand 'citizenship' has reference to the jural relationship under municipal law. In other words, nationality determines the civil rights of a person, natural or artificial, particularly with reference to international law, whereas citizenship is intimately connected with civic rights under municipal law, State Trading Corporation of India Ltd. v.

Comity of Nations
Comity of Nations, the most appropriate phrase to express the true foundation and extent of the obligation of the laws of one nation within the territories of another. It is derived altogether from the voluntary consent of the latter, and is inadmissible when it is contrary to its known policy or prejudicial to its interests. In the silence of any positive rule affirming or denying or restrain-ing the operation of foreign laws, courts of justice presume the tacit adoption of them by their own government, unless repugnant to its policy or prejudicial to its interests. It is not the comity of the courts, but the comity of the nation, which is administered and ascertained in the same way, and guided by the same reasoning, by which all other principles of the municipal law are ascertained and guided, Story's Conflict of Laws, s. 38, and see Westlake's Pr. Intern. Law....
League of Nations (Societe des Nations)
League of Nations (Societe des Nations), is a conventional assembly which was set up early in 1920 at the conclusion of the War of 1914-1919 (First World War), with a membership of 58 States. The Covenant, consisting of 26 Articles at the beginning of each of the Peace Treaties, is its charter, pledging these States to promote international co-operation, and achieve peace and security by accepting obligations not to go to war, and to respect treaties. Among the important principles which underlie the League are the 'collective system,' e.g., collective action to prevent aggression, as well as to assist members to carry on their common interests more effectively; the duty of reduction of armaments; equality for States, e.g., recognition of greater responsibility of large Powers, with legal equality for all, large or small; undertaking to use peaceful settlement for disputes, with recognition that any war is the responsibility of all peoples; provision of means for adapting existing righ...
