Sovereignty, Territory And The International Lawyer's Dilemma, Donald W. Greig

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

A historical perspective of the rules of territorial acquisition and of Antarctic sovereignty provides a basis for an examination of the conflict between international law and state sovereignty.

International Concurrent Jurisdiction: Dealing With The Possibility Of Parallel Proceedings In The Courts Of More Than One Country, Bernd U. Graf

LLM Theses and Essays

This thesis will examine how legal systems deal with the phenomenon of multiple assumptions of jurisdiction over the same dispute. We will first look at public international law rules on jurisdiction, regulating (or not regulating) conflicting states' interests, which will give only modest guidance. In view of those rules, the subsequent chapters will deal with various national laws relating to the possibility of parallel proceedings in the courts of more than one country, and thus the possibility of the emergence of conflicting orders or judgments.
