'''Robertus Lansing''' (''Robert Lansing''; [[1864]] – [[1928]]) fuit delegatus [[C. F. A.]] apud [[Deliberatio de pace componenda Lutetiae facta (1919)|Deliberationem de pace componenda]] [[Lutetia]]e facta anno [[1919]].
<!--'''Robert Lansing''' ([[October 17]], [[1864]] – [[October 30]], [[1928]]) served in the position of Legal Advisor to the State Department at the outbreak of [[World War I]] where he vigorously advocated against Britain's policy of blockade and in favor of the principles of freedom of the seas and the rights of neutral nations. He then served as [[United States Secretary of State]] under [[President of the United States|President]] [[Woodrow Wilson]] between [[1915]] and [[1920]]. He was nominated to the office after [[William Jennings Bryan]]'s resignation. He negotiated the [[Lansing-Ishii Agreement]] with [[Japan]] in [[1917]] and was a member of the [[American Commission to Negotiate Peace]] at [[Paris]] in [[1919]].
 
Born in [[Watertown, New York|Watertown]], [[New York]], he graduated from [[Amherst College]] in [[1886]] and was admitted to the [[bar association|bar]] in [[1889]]. From then until [[1907]] he was a member of the law firm of Lansing & Lansing at Watertown. An authority on international law, he served as associate counsel for the United States in the [[Bering Sea Arbitration]] in [[1892]]-[[1893|93]], as counsel for the United States Bering Sea Claims Commission in [[1896]]-[[1897|97]], as solicitor for the government before the [[Alaskan Boundary Tribunal]] in [[1903]], as counsel for the North Atlantic Fisheries in the Arbitration at [[The Hague]] in [[1909]]-[[1910|10]], and as agent of the United States in the American and British Arbitration in [[1912]]-[[1914|14]]. In 1914 Lansing was appointed by [[Woodrow Wilson|President Wilson]] counselor to the State Department.
 
Lansing advocated [[benevolent neutrality]] in [[World War I]], and eventually of American participation. According to the 1972 book "Lusitania" by Colin Simpson, a reporter with the London Sunday Times, Mr. Lansing actively participated in covering up the fact that the passenger liner Lusitania was carrying weapons for the British. The sinking of the Lusitania by the German U-boat U-20 was a major factor in the eventual entry of the United States into World War I. Mr. Lansing's activities in covering up the facts regarding the sinking led to an irreparable breach between him and Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan. As a result of this rift, Bryan resigned, and Lansing assumed his former superior's office. In 1916, using funds discretionary to himself, he hired a handful of men to become the State Department's first [[special agent]]s. These agents were initially utilized to observe Central power activities in America, and later to watch over interned German diplomats. The small group of agents hired by Lansing would eventually become the [[Diplomatic Security Service]] many years later.
 
In [[1919]], he became the nominal head of the U.S. commission to the [[Paris Peace Conference, 1919|Paris Peace Conference]]. Because he did not regard the [[League of Nations]] as essential to the peace treaty, Lansing began to fall out of favor with Wilson. During Wilson's stroke and illness, Lansing called the cabinet together for consultations on several occasions. In addition, Lansing was the first cabinet member to suggest that Vice President [[Thomas R. Marshall]] assume the powers of the presidency. Wilson was disturbed by Lansing's independence, and Lansing resigned in 1920 at Wilson's request. Afterward, he practiced law in [[New York City]].
 
His nephews include [[John Foster Dulles]], who also became a U.S. Secretary of State, and [[Allen Welsh Dulles]], a [[Director of Central Intelligence]]. -->
