The Author goes on to outline recent challenges and changes to these barriers to practice, including international efforts such as the WTO and the IBA and local rules in the United States and the European Union. The Author then analyzes the adequacy of existing regulatory regimes with regard to …

Recent Development, Platte B. Moring, Iii

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

While few commentators question the international status of the Community in relation to the Member States and those countries with which it has negotiated treaties, the question of whether the Common Market possesses a universally recognizable personality remains open. In determining the international status of the United Nations, the ICJ in the Reparations Case stated that fifty states, "representing the vast majority of the members of the international community, had the power in conformity with international law to bring into being an entity possessing an objective international personality and not only personality recognized by them alone. If this recognition standard …

Charter 77 In Czechoslovakia And The International Protection Of Human Rights, Roger Errera

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Charter 77 was published in Prague in early January, 1977. At that time the document contained 240 signatures, a number which increased by 1977 to over 600. This Charter marked the beginning of a new period in the political history of Czechoslovakia, a period of public affirmation of fundamental liberties. It is useful to recall briefly reactions to the publication of this document in the East and the West, and to analyze its profound significance. It is also important to examine the major events that have taken place since 1977 and the inspiration which Charter 77 derived from the United …

Book Notes, C. H. H., K. D. K.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Until the Nuremburg Tribunal, international thought concerning human rights conformed to the idea that the guarantor of these rights was the national sovereign. With the birth of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the need for international guarantees of human rights within a state was formally recognized; that individuals have certain inalienable human rights is a proposition which few nations will dispute today. Furthermore, despite wide ideological differences, most states have found it possible to agree on the scope and consequences of man's fundamental freedoms.
