Article 51: Limits On Self-Defense?, Thomas K. Plofchan Jr.

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article's two-pronged analysis has three distinct parts. Part I lays out the controversy of Article 51 interpretation as applied to the recent Gulf Crisis. Part II examines the legal guidance for interpreting the U.N. Charter, the Charter's travaux preparatoires, and specifically the work of the committees and subcommittees responsible for drafting and amending articles that fully incorporate the right of self-defense into the Charter. This Part develops conclusions on Article 51 that may be applied to the context of the recent Gulf Crisis. This Part also contrasts the Article 51 right of collective self-defense with the right of …


Above All, Do No Harm: The Application Of The Exon-Florio Amendment To Dual-Use Technologies, Gerald T. Nowak Jan 1992

Above All, Do No Harm: The Application Of The Exon-Florio Amendment To Dual-Use Technologies, Gerald T. Nowak

Michigan Journal of International Law

In support of this proposition, this Note will first examine the legislative history and executive enforcement of the Exon-Florio Amendment, followed by a discussion of the goals of Exon-Florio and the applicability of Exon-Florio to dual-use technologies. Then, after an examination of the attitudes and experience of the European Community with regards to such protectionism, specifically in France and the United Kingdom, this Note will argue that vigorous enforcement of the Exon-Florio Amendment, and a fortiori passage of the Technology Preservation Act, is likely to result in less, not more, domestic production of dual-use technologies. As a matter of defense …

When Is An Amendment Not An Amendment? Modification Of Arms Control Agreements Without The Senate, David A. Koplow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The tempest over the proposed "reinterpretation" of the Anti- Ballistic Missile Treaty has only barely been stilled, and the full impact of the dissolution and reorganization of the Soviet Union is far from clear. But already we can detect early warnings about the next probable source of intense constitutional conflict between the American executive branch and the Congress in their ongoing struggle for primacy in the conduct of United States foreign relations. This imminent battle-again arising in the context of disarmament treaties, perhaps the most controversial and crucial aspect of America's international public policy-has not yet been fully joined. But …


The Jurisprudence Of Non-Proliferation: Taking International Law Seriously, David A. Koplow Jan 1992

The Jurisprudence Of Non-Proliferation: Taking International Law Seriously, David A. Koplow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This essay is about the power of the international law of nonproliferation- its mounting power in the world today and its properly augmented power in an enlightened future. The article focuses on three primary areas in which international law may play a greater role than is commonly appreciated in affecting the behavior of potential proliferators, their suppliers, and their resolute opponents. The three topics-areas in which the essay pleads for law to be taken even more seriously, and by a wider audience of governments and the international public-are: (a) treaties (especially the provisions of those treaties that commit the parties …
