Child Welfare Legislation In India: Will Indian Children Benefit From The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child, Shahana Dasgupta
Child Welfare Legislation In India: Will Indian Children Benefit From The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child, Shahana Dasgupta
Michigan Journal of International Law
The subject of children's rights has been dealt with both directly and indirectly in a number of international legal instruments over the years. Initially, there were differences concerning the need for a Convention over and above the already existing legislation. Some countries felt that children should not be treated as a category set apart from other human beings and thereby be the object of a separate legal document. On the other hand, countries in favor of a Convention wanted to create a single legal instrument which would take into account children's requirements on a universal scale. They also saw the …
Section 301 And The Appearance Of Unilateralism, Warren Maruyama
Section 301 And The Appearance Of Unilateralism, Warren Maruyama
Michigan Journal of International Law
Despite extensive criticism, section 301 is a modest statute. It directs the United States Trade Representative (USTR), subject to the direction of the President, to take action if (1) the rights of the United States under a trade agreement are being denied, or (2) an act, policy, or practice of a foreign government is "unjustifiable" and burdens or restricts U.S. commerce. It also authorizes the USTR, again subject to the direction of the President, to act if (3) an act, policy, or practice of a foreign government is "unreasonable" and burdens or restricts U.S. commerce.
Translation Of Legal Texts: Three English Versions Of The Swiss Federal Statute On Private International Law, Walter König
Translation Of Legal Texts: Three English Versions Of The Swiss Federal Statute On Private International Law, Walter König
Michigan Journal of International Law
Working with translated legal materials can be frustrating and treacherous. Lawyers who are regularly forced to do this soon realize their limitations and end up wishing they had taken the trouble to study the original language. They also appreciate the difficulties confronting the translator. Mastery of the languages involved is necessary, but not sufficient, particularly where the user of a translation expects a literal translation, the legal systems of the starting languages and target language differ fundamentally and the subject matter is highly abstract.
Regulation Of Imports And Foregn Investment In The United States On National Security Grounds, David Scott Nance, Jessica Wasserman
Regulation Of Imports And Foregn Investment In The United States On National Security Grounds, David Scott Nance, Jessica Wasserman
Michigan Journal of International Law
Traditionally, concerns over the effects of trade and investment on national security have centered upon the transfer of products and technologies with potential military uses. However, national security concerns also arise with respect to the economic and military impact of imports and of foreign acquisition of domestic assets. The United States has a longstanding statute, section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, that allows the President to restrict imports of goods on national security grounds. More recently, another statute, popularly referred to as the Exon-Florio Act, provides the President with authority to bar the acquisition of United States …
The Impact Of U.S. Trade Law On Government Policy Making In The Republic Of China, P. K. Chiang
The Impact Of U.S. Trade Law On Government Policy Making In The Republic Of China, P. K. Chiang
Michigan Journal of International Law
Since President Reagan signed the Omnibus Trade Act on August 23, 1988, the U.S. government has completed a series of investigations according to the provisions of the Act. Consultations aimed at forcing its trading partners to adjust their trade- policies which are regarded as unfair to U.S. trade have also been held in the past ten months or so. Being one of the most important trading partners of the U.S. – both in terms of its overall trade volume and its surplus with the U.S. – the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) seems to have become a target of …
