"Green Helmets": A Conceptual Framework For Security Council Authority In Environmental Emergencies, Linda A. Malone Jan 1996

"Green Helmets": A Conceptual Framework For Security Council Authority In Environmental Emergencies, Linda A. Malone

Michigan Journal of International Law

Although 1995 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the United Nations, the year also marks the fifth anniversary of a newly revitalized Security Council. In this period of five years, scholarly debate on the Security Council has shifted from what it might do if it could act to what substantive limits, if any, exist on the Security Council's authority to act under the Charter. The legitimacy of the Security Council's authority under the Charter arises both in its initial determination of when it can act and in its determination of the appropriate scope of its actions once it …


The Role Of The United Nations Security Council In African Peace Management: Some Porposals, A. Peter Mutharika Jan 1996

The Role Of The United Nations Security Council In African Peace Management: Some Porposals, A. Peter Mutharika

Michigan Journal of International Law

The United Nations global peace management scheme is based on certain fundamental assumptions that require serious reexamination as we enter the twenty-first century. Fundamental to the 1945 vision of global peace management was the prevention of a third world war through collective action by the great powers. Structurally, this was to be achieved by a system of great power governance through the mechanism of the Security Council. While the Charter confers on the Security Council "primary responsibility" for the maintenance of international peace and security, executive decision-making is reserved for the great powers through permanent membership and the veto power. …


The Right To Self-Defense Once The Security Council Takes Action, Malvina Halberstam Jan 1996

The Right To Self-Defense Once The Security Council Takes Action, Malvina Halberstam

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article discusses the views of these commentators in the light of the language, history, and policies underlying Article 51. It concludes that the Charter was not intended to and should not be interpreted to deny a state the right of self-defense, even if the Security Council has taken measures to deal with the problem; if states are to cede their right to self-defense once the Security Council has taken measures, that should be made explicit.


The Place Of Law In Collective Security, Martti Koskenniemi Jan 1996

The Place Of Law In Collective Security, Martti Koskenniemi

Michigan Journal of International Law

In this article the author wants to examine the place of law in our thinking about and sometimes participation in decision-making regarding international security. After the end of the Cold War, and particularly since the United Nations' reaction to Iraq's occupation of Kuwait in 1990-91, an academic debate concerning the possibility of collective security has arisen anew. The intention is not to take a definite view in that controversy. Instead, the author shall suggest that this debate has been framed so as to obscure the role of normative considerations, including law, in the production or construction of collective security. A …

Conflicts On The Net: Choice Of Law In Transnational Cyberspace, Matthew R. Burnsteln Jan 1996

Conflicts On The Net: Choice Of Law In Transnational Cyberspace, Matthew R. Burnsteln

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

No recent technological advance has captured the attention and imagination of the United States and the international community like the advent of global communications networks--the Internet, Cyberspace, the Information Superhighway. While the technology advances daily, a legal regime for ordering cyberspace has not yet evolved. Already, cases are reaching the courts in which plaintiffs complain of improper and unlawful activities by defendants in cyberspace. Both cyberspace's growing ubiquity and the anonymity found online will increase international use of the networks for interaction and commerce. This Note considers the conflict of laws implications of transnational cyberspace. The need to consider choice …


Duress And Provocation As Excuses To Murder: Salutary Lessons From Recent Anglo-American Jurisprudence, Alan Reed Jan 1996

Duress And Provocation As Excuses To Murder: Salutary Lessons From Recent Anglo-American Jurisprudence, Alan Reed

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

The defenses of duress and provocation can be analogized as concessions to human frailty. Both defenses are predicated upon "confession and avoidance." In each scenario, the defendants actually admit the completion of the actus reus with the attendant mens rea (confession) but seek to excuse their conduct to deny criminal liability (avoidance). Essentially, both defenses involve a concoction of excuse, moral involuntariness, and human frailty. They focus attention on legitimate societal expectations of the reasonable man in criminal law. Unfortunately, the Anglo-American tradition, vis a vis these defenses, is replete with vagaries, inconsistencies, and anomalies. Comparing these defenses in English …
