Law For A World Community, John Quigley
Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
Changes in international relations are creating a context for a new role for law. The exigencies of survival require solutions that can be achieved only at a supranational level.

It is just a quarter-century since I first came to Syracuse University to teach at the Maxwell School. Sobered by the discovery that elections can be lost as well as won, I settled down and promptly finished my doctoral dissertation in the field of international law and organization.

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
This paper takes up the traditional concept of historic bays as one time-honored basis for asserting national claims at the expense of the common high seas, which, however, unlike some of the more recent forms of decentralized enclosures, purports to rely on, or should rely on, a specific, objective, and clearly articulated definition, rather than on a subjective one.
