The Extraterritorial Effect Of Federal Criminal Statutes: Offenses Directed At Members Of Congress, Mark Petersen Jan 1983

The Extraterritorial Effect Of Federal Criminal Statutes: Offenses Directed At Members Of Congress, Mark Petersen

UC Law SF International Law Review

In a world of increased tension and open hostility toward the United States and its policies, an attack or assault on a member of Congress traveling abroad is not inconceivable. Section 351 of the United States Criminal Code prescribes penalties for offenses directed at members of Congress including assault, killing, kidnapping, and attempted conspiracies. Section 351, however, is silent as to a court's reach in asserting subject matter jurisdiction. This Note addresses the issue of whether the United States federal courts could obtain jurisdiction over a foreign group or individual who attacked or killed a Congressperson in a foreign country. …

Reflections On The Creation Of A Unified Criminal Law, Theo Vogler Jan 1983

Reflections On The Creation Of A Unified Criminal Law, Theo Vogler

Michigan Journal of International Law

Many commentators have pointed to the goal of creating a unified criminal law, accepted in all countries and accompanied by an international penal authority to secure its enforcement. It is easy to recognize the great advantages of a unified, global law. In the field of criminal law in particular, the compelling authority of a penal code would be much more persuasive to the individual citizen than today's criminal law, the proscriptions of which vary from state to state. The law appears arbitrary, generating exterior compliance but not true consent.


Emerging Functions Of Formal Legal Institutions In China's Modernization, Stanley B. Lubman Dec 1982

Emerging Functions Of Formal Legal Institutions In China's Modernization, Stanley B. Lubman

Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies

In 1977 when China's leaders dedicated themselves to the four modernizations, they consciously decided to reestablish formal legal institutions as part of their ambitious plan of growth. In light of China's legal history since the Communist victory in 1949, this decision is significant. Since 1949 law had borne the heavy imprint of politics; since the late nineteen-fifties, the Chinese leadership had shown little concern for the fate of formal legal institutions; during the Cultural Revolution, the legal system had virtually disappeared. But since 1977, despite fluctuations in economic policy the attitudes of the leadership toward law, repeatedly echoed by lower …

The Significance Of Comparative Law For Criminal Law Reform, Hans-Heinrich Jescheck Jan 1981

The significance of comparative law is illustrated throughout by specific examples of reform on each level.


The Un Declaration On Friendly Relations And The System Of The Sources Of International Law, James Ellis Nov 1980

The Un Declaration On Friendly Relations And The System Of The Sources Of International Law, James Ellis

Dalhousie Law Journal

The United Nations Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations was adopted as a Resolution of the General Assembly in 1970. Since then, most of the countries in the Third World, actively supported by the Soviet Union and its allies in eastern Europe, have tended to give this document an authority that is akin to that of the Sermon on the Mount. At the same time they, as well as a number of lawyers in the western world, have increasingly argued that resolutions of the …

Extradition Between France And The United States: An Exercise In Comparative And International Law, Christopher L. Blakesley Jan 1980

Extradition Between France And The United States: An Exercise In Comparative And International Law, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

In 1878 Cardaillac defined extradition as “the right for a State on the territory of which an accused or convicted person has take refuge, to deliver him up to another State wich has requisitioned his return and is competent to judge and punish him.” The term “extradition” was imported to the United States from France, where the decret-loi of Febraury 19, 1791, appears to be the first official document to have used the term. The term is not found in treaties or conventions until 1828. The Latin equivalent to extradition, “tradere”, is not found in early Latin works, but the …


The Right Of The Individual To Know And Act Upon His Rights And Duties: Monitoring Groups And The Helsinki Final Act, Virginia A. Leary Professor Of Law, Jan 1980

The Right Of The Individual To Know And Act Upon His Rights And Duties: Monitoring Groups And The Helsinki Final Act, Virginia A. Leary Professor Of Law,

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The provisions of the Helsinki Final Act relating to human rights stimulated a most extraordinary and probably unforeseen development the creation of ad hoc private citizen monitoring groups in signatory countries. No other international instrument on human rights has had a similar effect. The activities of these monitoring groups cannot be over emphasized. The phrase in Principle VII of the Final Act that the signatory states confirm the right of the individual to know and act upon his rights and duties constituted international recognition of the legitimacy of participation by private individuals in the monitoring of their own country's conformity …

A Constitutional Analysis Of The Prohibition Against Collateral Attack In The Mexican-American Prisoner Exchange Treaty, Ira Robbins Oct 1978

A Constitutional Analysis Of The Prohibition Against Collateral Attack In The Mexican-American Prisoner Exchange Treaty, Ira Robbins

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Introduction: On November 25, 1976, the United States and Mexico concluded a bilateral treaty providing for reciprocal prisoner exchange, so that a national of one party to the agreement could complete his sentence in his home country.' The objectives of the agreement essentially were twofold: first, there was a need to ameliorate relations with Mexico on the delicate matter of the abuse of American citizens confined in Mexican prisons; second, there was a strong desire to alleviate special hardships, such as those respecting living conditions and prospects for rehabilitation, resulting from imprisonment in a foreign country. The Treaty was ratified …

Torture And Other Forms Of Cruel And Unusual Punishment In International Law, Steven Ackerman Jan 1978

Torture And Other Forms Of Cruel And Unusual Punishment In International Law, Steven Ackerman

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Although historically legal interest in human rights has been the special province of scholars, recent worldwide economic realignment has educated the public to global interdependency, vindicating those who foresaw a nexus between human rights and the maintenance of world order. "[A]n interdependent global community cannot sustain itself. .if the coin of common exchange is genocide and discrimination." A pragmatic understanding of the relationship between the maintenance of world order and the protection of human rights suggests that tolerance and fulfillment of the world expectation of human rights may not be a goal that can be universally achieved. It is, however, …


Evolution Of The Concept Of The Rights Of The Child In The Western World, D. Kelly Weisberg Jan 1978

Evolution Of The Concept Of The Rights Of The Child In The Western World, D. Kelly Weisberg

Faculty Scholarship

The General Assembly of the United Nations has proclaimed 1979 to be the International Year of the Child. It is also the twentieth anniversary of the United Nations' Declaration of the Rights of the Child. The concept of the rights of the child is of relatively recent origin. This modern notion that a child is entitled to special protection, opportunities and facilities emanates from two historical sources. First, it reflects the culmination of the evolution of the concept of childhood. Second, it springs from the development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries of the juristic concept of the child as …
