American Acceptance Of The Jurisdiction Of The International Court Of Justice: Experiences And Prospects, Louis B. Sohn

Scholarly Works

The International Court of Justice ("ICJ" or "Court") is the successor to both the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the Permanent Court of International Justice. Before the first court was established in 1899, only ad hoc tribunals existed. This was due to a basic fact of international law that international tribunals possessed jurisdiction only if the parties to the case conferred it on the tribunal either for that case or previously by an international agreement.

The Concept And Present Status Of The International Protection Of Human Rights: Forty Years After The Universal Declaration, Annemieke Holthius

Dalhousie Law Journal

John P. Humphrey, the first Director of the Human Rights Division of the United Nations, in his preface to The Concept and Present Status of the International Protection of Human Rights - Forty Years after the Universal Declaration, observes that the question of the international protection of human rights "has received far too little attention from scholars, statesmen, diplomats and human rights activists". There "has so far been no attempt ... to provide a comprehensive account" of the concept of "protection" within the international law of human rights. In his new book, Dr. B.G. Ramcharan, the distinguished lawyer-adviser in the …

Reservations And Declarations In The Additional Protocols To The Treaty Of Tlatelolco, Héctor Gros Espiell

Dalhousie Law Journal

1. It is common knowledge that the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America, the Treaty of Tlatelolco, prohibits reservations (Article 27), as does Additional Protocol 2 (Article 4).

Transboundary Groundwaters: The Bellagio Draft Treaty, Robert D. Hayton, Albert E. Utton

Publications

Increasing populations and industrial and agricultural development worldwide are placing much greater demands on groundwater supplies. Many of these groundwater basins or aquifers underlie two or more countries and are, thus, international or transboundary. Withdrawals from one country can drain life-giving water from a neighboring country and, as a consequence, be the source of severe and protracted conflict. Unfortunately, international law and treaty practice are only at a beginning stage. With the goal of advancing international law and institutions on the matter, a multi-disciplinary group of specialists over an eight-year period have developed a draft international groundwater treaty.

The draft …
