Organised Crime As Terrorism, Mark Findlay
Organised Crime As Terrorism, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
In a somewhat belated incursion into the international debate about the threat of organised crime, Federal and State governments in Australia have chosen to represent the 'menace' as an attack on the institution of the state as much as a physical and financial danger to society. This is consistent with the approaches of governments in the United States and Italy in constructing the reality of the Mafia.

Keeping "The Wild" Out Of "The Wild Blue Yonder": Preventing Terrorist Attacks Against International Flights In Civil Aviation, David L. Glassman
Penn State International Law Review
This comment begins by discussing the ineffectiveness of ex post facto measures in controlling terrorism. It then describes the preventive - or "pre-attack" - measures which nations and their air carriers should take in order to secure aircraft prior to departure. In this respect, the annexes amending the Convention on International Civil Aviation will be emphasized insofar as they relate to aviation security precautions. Finally, the comment focuses upon the methods by which states can enforce the provisions of the annexes against one another.

State-Sponsored Terrorism: Libya's Abuse Of Diplomatic Privileges And Immunities, Jane Chace Sweeney
Penn State International Law Review
International law should not hamper governments threatened by terrorists abusing diplomatic privileges. The ramifications of Libya's state-supported terrorist network, operating through diplomatic channels, will be addressed in this Comment. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations will be evaluated in light of the April 1984 Libyan embassy shooting. Present international inactivity will illustrate the legal and political dilemmas faced by a nation's policy makers in suppressing terrorism. Finally, the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations will be discussed to assess the Convention's viability in the current political arena threatened by terrorists.

Terror And Terrorism: There Is A Difference, David F. Forte
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
To formulate an effective legal and moral response to terrorism, fundamental differences must be acknowledged. We must realize that all acts of terror are not legally interchangeable. We should not create legal instruments that confound essential dissimilarities. We should acknowledge that terrorism is an organized, low level attack by groups trying to destroy the Western legal and moral order. We should recognize that many such terrorist groups have been given purported legitimacy by a distorted notion of self-determination and by recognition within many international bodies. Also, we should face the fact that the effectiveness of terrorism is immeasurably enhanced by …

An Essay On Executive Branch Attempts To Eviscerate The Separation Of Powers, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
The Reagan Administration has been aggressively attempting to arrogate power to the Executive branch and to undermine the separation of powers in the realms of foreign affairs. To Chain the Dog of War shows that for decades the Executive branch has moved to appropriate Congress’ war powers. The Reagan Administration not only has continued that tradition, but also has attempted to erode the Judiciary’s power to decide questions of law and fact concerning human rights and liberty in international extradition cases involving political offenses. The underlying rationale for this shift has been that decisions to make war or to condemn …
