International Law-Trusteeship Compared With Mandate, Donald S. Leeper S. Ed.
International Law-Trusteeship Compared With Mandate, Donald S. Leeper S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The mandate system represented an attempt to cope with the problem of nonself-governing territories as an international responsibility and, for the most part, was an advancement over former methods of treatment. The system was not perfect and its operation pointed up a number of its defects. The framers of the United Nations Charter formulated the trusteeship system to take the place of the mandate system, correcting its defects and adding certain innovations. The purpose of this comment is to present a brief comparison of the two systems and to consider a few of the major problems presented.

International Law-Immunity Of Employee Of United Nations Delegation From In Rem Proceedings In Municipal Courts, Allan Neef
Michigan Law Review
A landlord's summary proceeding for recovery of possession was brought in a New York municipal court against a secretary of the Argentine delegation to the United Nations.

Extraterritorial Effects Of Confiscations And Expropriations, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenvelden
Extraterritorial Effects Of Confiscations And Expropriations, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenvelden
Michigan Law Review
The study of the problem of extraterritorial effects of confiscations and expropriations from the point of view of Comparative Law has special practical importance. There are hardly any codified rules applicable to foreign confiscations and expropriations, either in statutory law countries or in common law countries. Hence, decisions have to be based largely on generally accepted rules of public and private international law. Such general acceptance can only be proved by a comparative analysis of foreign as well as of domestic precedents.
