Panel Discussion

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The Chairman requested comments from the panel on the current state of discussions on the development of international machinery to regulate the uses of the deep seabed and the ocean floor. Noting that the Soviet Union has shown little interest in international controls, he asked if there was any ground for optimism for a global agreement.

Soviet Policy On The Sea-Bed And The Ocean Floor, Sevinc Carlson

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The growth and development of a modern navy has been a somewhat recent phenomenon for the USSR, occurring most significantly in the last decade. Soviet policy towards law of the sea matters, then, is naturally influenced by these factors. The push towards an ever-expanding role in the world's oceans, engendered primarily in the national interest, clearly colors the Soviet views, as expressed in current international discussions.

The United States Draft United Nations Convention On The International Sea-Bed Area And The Accomodation Of Ocean Uses, William Palmer

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The United States Draft Sea-Bed Convention is a dynamic application of the principle of true accommodation in the broadest sense. It addresses the need to regulate in a fair and orderly fashion the exploitation of sea-bed resources while meeting the needs of other ocean uses by means of mutual accommodation provisions.

"Impact Reports" : A Domestic Law Analogy For International Legislation, L.F.E. Goldie

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Proposals submitted to the Seabeds Committee of the United Nations General Assembly and by the Report of the President's Commission on Marine Science, Engineering and Resources contain blueprints for the establishment of international agencies with respect to seabed exploitation, the duration and extent of licenses of seabed areas, the quantum of the interest granted, the conditions of forfeiture and the destination of revenues. They do not, however, offer concrete proposals for combatting the pollution effects of deep sea mining and merely, at best, make some pious reference to the need for taking environmental issues and interests into account. In the …

Rich And Poor Countries And The Limits Of Ideology -- An Introduction To The Day's Proceedings, L.F.E. Goldie

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This is the eighth annual Regional Meeting of the American Society of International Law here at Syracuse. Our topic for this meeting is "The United Nations and the Resources of the Deep-Ocean Floor." The problems which this theme signals are becoming cute as the world's population increasingly presses on our diminishing resources and as our environment is threatened with major and possibly irreversible degradation.

The Process Of Decolonization International Legal Aspects, Marion Mushkatt

University of Baltimore Law Review

Colonialism has existed since the time of Ancient Greece. It has proliferated then as now when peoples have found it necessary to extend their political boundaries beyond their own natural borders. Modern colonialism, which once fluorished, has been in a process of decline, and its related institutions, such as slavery and political dependence, have been generally recognized as contrary to international legal principles. The United Nations has been the forum for the solution to this internationally recognized problem. Its progress has been significant, though not complete.

The 1971 I.C.J. Advisory Opinion On South West Africa (Nambia), Preston Brown

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

South Africa has administered the adjoining territory of South West Africa (Namibia) for over fifty years. Initially, that administration was granted to South Africa when it was designated a mandatory by the League of Nations. Since the dissolution of the League 25 years ago, South Africa's administration of the territory and, more recently, its right to administer, have been the subject of continued and escalating controversy.

The most recent development in this confused situation is the advisory opinion that was rendered in June, 1971, by the International Court of Justice. That opinion was requested by the Security Council of the …

A New Concept Of Consent And World Public Order, Stuart S. Malawer

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

There have been, however, many instances under traditional international legal theory when a state's consent has not been required. Professor Brierly, in a trenchant critique, has stated that consent as the basic concept of obligation under customary international law has involved no more than the use of a legal fiction. Moreover, the traditional notion of consent in treaty law has stated that any form of coercion on the state does not invalidate a treaty; freely given consent is not required. Furthermore consent by new states to existing rules of customary international law has been implied regardless of any actual consent. …

Statutory Reform In Claims Against Foreign States: The Belman-Lowenfeld Proposal, Richard K.V. Hines, Kurt A. Strasser

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The executive branch of the United States Government has indicated recently that it is reexamining its dominant judicatory role in the field of sovereign immunity of foreign states. Studies undertaken in 1966 by the State Department resulted in the preparation of draft legislation on sovereign immunity that the Department has been studying for possible presentation to Congress. The proposed Belman-Lowenfeld legislation would completely remove the State Department from any role in deciding sovereign immunity cases. The proposal itself would subject foreign states to the jurisdiction of United States federal courts for activities carried on or having a direct effect in …

International Law And Conflict Resolution: Palestinian Claims And The Arab States, J. L. Taulbee, David P. Forsythe

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Over the last few years there has been a revival of interest in international law as a mechanism for conflict resolution. These same years have seen a demonstration of the undeveloped state of international law, particularly concerning intrastate conflicts. The wide disagreement about questions of fact, legal consequence, and world order implications of internal war is a telling commentary on the current problems of applying legal standards to such conflicts. A major part of the disagreement can be explained in terms of the specific problems relating to fact determination and authoritative interpretation engendered by the nature of the environment in …

The Public And Private International Response To Aircraft Hijacking, Gary N. Horlick

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The interests of aircraft hijackers are not easily summarized, if for no other reason than that the motivation of a given incident often cannot be clearly defined. For example, the recent extortion hijackings could have been motivated as easily by a desire for notoriety or other psychological reward as by a desire for cash. Hijackers exhibit, however, several recurring motivations. One fairly consistent element is the desire of the hijacker to escape the country in which he lives. Clearly, this motive was present in the eighteen attempts (eleven successes, seven failures) to flee Eastern European countries since 1960 by hijackers …
