Ironies Of Intervention, Milner S. Ball Mar 1983

Ironies Of Intervention, Milner S. Ball

Scholarly Works

I have detected in our deliberations this afternoon two ironies. The first is this: the dissentient receive more protection as enemies than as citizens. As we have heard today, there is greater opportunity for the assimilation of humanitarian law if the sides engaged in internal conflict are regarded as combatants and not as fellow citizens. With the application of the law of armed conflict comes the prospect that the opponents may observe some degree of mutual respect. Such dignity as the law accords thus becomes a function of formalized hostility rather than of civil affection, of open distrust rather than …


Gradations Of Intervention In Internal Conflicts, Louis B. Sohn Mar 1983

Gradations Of Intervention In Internal Conflicts, Louis B. Sohn

Scholarly Works

I promised to suggest a definition. It is a very modest one, simply trying to apply the language of article 51 of the Charter about self-defense to the problem of military intervention. It might be desirable to have at least a rule which would say: "No military invention by one state in the internal armed conflicts in another state is permissible except in an extreme emergency requiring instant response and subject to imimediate termination of such emergency action on the request of the United Nations or an appropriate regional organization."


Introduction To Panel Iii: Regional And Other International Organizations Responses To Internal Conflict, Louis B. Sohn Mar 1983

Introduction To Panel Iii: Regional And Other International Organizations Responses To Internal Conflict, Louis B. Sohn

Scholarly Works

The United Nations has been trying to do three different things. First, the United Nations had to develop the basic principles of intervention. Most of them were borrowed from the Charter of the Organization of American States, especially those on intervention, but they went much further concerning the limitations on help to guerrillas and the problems of interference by various means. The United Nations Declaration on Friendly Relations, the Declaration on Inadmissibility of Intervention, and several other documents have been broadening or clarifying the law on the subject over the last 20 years. Second, as noted previously, the United Nations …


Introduction To Panel I, Gabriel M. Wilner Mar 1983

Introduction To Panel I, Gabriel M. Wilner

Scholarly Works

The work of this panel is to sort out the theories and arguments on the obligations of individual states, as distinguished from the international or regional community of states acting under the rules of an international organization, in dealing with internal conflicts in other states. Are states assisted in determining their obligations by existing standards of international law? The panel will wish to address itself to the central question of the content of international law standards on intervention. In doing so it may also wish to offer some definition of "internal conflict" and discuss the ramifications of the passage from …


A Message Of Hope, Dean Rusk Mar 1983

A Message Of Hope, Dean Rusk

Scholarly Works

So I would hope, based upon the extraordinarily interesting discussion that we have had here during this Colloquium, that we try to follow it up a bit and not be too discouraged about the modesty of certain things that might be done, but see if we cannot find some way to encapsulate, surround, isolate these internal violence situations so that they do not contribute to those great struggles which could end us all.

The Frolova Case: A Practitioner's View, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

The Frolova case may provide a substantial basis for continuing a trend away from the unfortunate decision in Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino which may some day be viewed as the Alast gasp@ of the act of state doctrine as an impediment to the realization of the international rule of law.
