International Law-Jurisdictional Immunity Of United Nations Employees-The Gubitchev Case, Melvin J. Spencer S.Ed. Nov 1950

International Law-Jurisdictional Immunity Of United Nations Employees-The Gubitchev Case, Melvin J. Spencer S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Diplomatic officers are immune from the criminal jurisdiction of the receiving state under well-recognized principles of customary international law, which principles are said to be a part of the law of the United States. As international organizations developed, certain privileges and immunities were given to their personnel by treaties or agreements and it appeared that by common consent of the family of nations their right to immunities might also come to be recognized as a principle of the law of nations. As yet the United States has not recognized such a principle and jurisdictional immunity here must still be provided …

International Law-Jurisdiction-Application Of United States Seaman's Laws To Foreign Seamen On Foreign Vessels, Philip Smullin Jun 1950

International Law-Jurisdiction-Application Of United States Seaman's Laws To Foreign Seamen On Foreign Vessels, Philip Smullin

Michigan Law Review

Libelants, eleven Greek seamen, signed a contract in the United States for a voyage from this country to Spain on a Greek vessel. They were discharged when the ship reached Barcelona. The shipowners made advance payments to these seamen, as they had in the past, and deducted such payments when settlements were made in the United States at the end of the voyage, a practice contrary to a federal statute. Prior to libelants' return to the United States from Spain, where they had been properly discharged, suit was instituted in their behalf for wages. Respondents paid into court a sum …

Translated Opinions

A Civil Court in Paris granted a decree of divorce to the petitioner and second respondent (being respectively the wife and the husband), who were French nationals domiciled in France, and declared that the petitioner was entitled to the custody of the children, a girl aged seven years and a boy aged four and a half years at the time of the application, but ordered that the second respondent have access to them at stated times. On one of these occasions the second respondent smuggled the children out of France and brought them to Israel, where they were living with …

International Law-Self-Executing Treaties-The Genocide Convention, William C. Gordon S.Ed. Apr 1950

International Law-Self-Executing Treaties-The Genocide Convention, William C. Gordon S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The crime of genocide is committed when a person is harmed because of his nationality, race or religion. Because of the number of offenses committed with genocidal motives during and before the last war, and the shortcomings of the customary international law rules on the subject, the General Assembly of the United Nations unanimously adopted a Convention on Genocide, which has been submitted for ratification by the members, including the United States.

International Law-International Court Of Justice-Advisory Opinions-Admission To Membership In The United Nations, William C. Gordon Jun 1949

International Law-International Court Of Justice-Advisory Opinions-Admission To Membership In The United Nations, William C. Gordon

Michigan Law Review

The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, and the Statute of the Court forms an integral part of the United Nations Charter. The Court is essentially a continuation of the Permanent Court of International Justice, which operated in connection with the League of Nations. Like its predecessor, the Court is composed of fifteen judges, nominated in a manner designed to ensure impartiality and elected by the General Assembly and the Security Council voting separately upon a list of nominees.

A Review Of Annual Survey Of American Law: 1947, Edson R. Sunderland Dec 1948

A Review Of Annual Survey Of American Law: 1947, Edson R. Sunderland

Michigan Law Review

This is the sixth annual volume in which the faculty of the New York University School of Law has published its summary of the important developments in American law. The magnitude of the task required to produce these volumes would be considered beyond the capacity of the teaching staff of any single law school if the actual publication, year by year, of these monumental surveys did not prove that it could be accomplished.

The Legal Status Of Occupied Germany, Max Rheinstein Nov 1948

The Legal Status Of Occupied Germany, Max Rheinstein

Michigan Law Review

The unprecedented situation presently existing in Germany has, of necessity, given rise to new and intricate questions of international law. Of these, one set of problems appears to me to deserve special attention because of both their theoretical and practical significance, namely, the problems concerning the legal relations between Germany and .her occupiers.

Legal Problems Of German Occupation, Charles Fahy Nov 1948

Legal Problems Of German Occupation, Charles Fahy

Michigan Law Review

In early May, 1945, after conflict of almost unimaginable proportions, the ground forces of Germany which were still fighting had been pushed back into the boundaries of Germany; the resistance of its army, navy and air forces was collapsing. The armies of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and France were in actual occupation of practically all of Germany. The German government composed of Hitler and his cabinet had come to an end by the death, capture or flight of its members. Under Hitler's "political testament," however, Admiral Doenitz was recognized as Hitler's successor …

The Codification Of International Law, James L. Brierly Nov 1948

The Codification Of International Law, James L. Brierly

Michigan Law Review

Any conclusion about the desirability or the practicability of codifying international law ought to be based on a clear idea of what the process would involve, and unfortunately "codification" is an ambiguous word. In the sense in which British and American lawyers use the word it relates to the form in which the law is presented. When we codify, we do not regard the task as one of improving the substance of the law, but as one of collecting the existing rules and stating them concisely and clearly. It is true that, even so, the work must involve some element …

International Law And Air Transportation, Charles S. Rhyne Nov 1948

International Law And Air Transportation, Charles S. Rhyne

Michigan Law Review

There was never a time when the people of this nation were more internationally-minded than they are today. The position of world leadership which has now been assumed by, or thrust upon, the United States makes the study of international relations under international law a most vital subject. It is our purpose here to consider the legal rules which have been and are being developed to govern a field whose technical achievements are one of the primary reasons why lawyers and laymen alike are vitally concerned with international law today-the field of international air transportation.

The Subjects Of A Modern Law Of Nations, Philip C. Jessup Jan 1947

The Subjects Of A Modern Law Of Nations, Philip C. Jessup

Michigan Law Review

International law is generally defined or described as law applicable to relations between states. States are said to be the subjects of international law and individuals only its "objects." Treatises on international law accordingly usually proceed at the very outset to examine the nature and essential characteristics of the fictitious jural person known as the state.

The Immediate Tasks Of International Law And Organization [Part 1], Linden A. Mander

Washington Law Review

Within recent years the legal profession has shown remarkable activity in the study of international relations. At Bar Association meetings, resolutions have been adopted; members of the bench and bar have associated themselves with important movements and pronouncements; and international organizations comprising lawyers and judges have borne witness to the widening sphere of interest and action on the part of those to whom law and order make a peculiarly immediate appeal in view of their training and professional activity. The few examples which will be given may serve as justification for an attempt to summarize a number of important developments …

What Of The World Court Now?, C. Sumner Lobingier Apr 1945

What Of The World Court Now?, C. Sumner Lobingier

Michigan Law Review

The Permanent Court of International Justice was expressly provided for in the League of Nations Covenant (Article XIV) of 1919 and the "Statute" creating it was drafted by an advisory committee of the League, meeting at the Hague, and opened for signature in the following year. By 1921 the ratifications of twenty-eight states put it into effect and the Court was formally opened, with a full quorum of judges, on February 15 (Bentham's birthday) 1922. For nearly twenty years it continued to function and its sessions were suspended only by the presence of the Nazi invaders of the Netherlands.

Law And Administration In Military Occupation: A Review Of Two Recent Books, Wolfgang H. Kraus Feb 1945

Law And Administration In Military Occupation: A Review Of Two Recent Books, Wolfgang H. Kraus

Michigan Law Review

Unlike the First World War, the Second World War has already produced at this stage of its progress significant publications concerning the problems of military government which may well assist interested students and practitioners in cutting a path through this thorny field. Occupying the area of enemy countries is a task of which by all odds the most difficult part, that of the occupation of both Germany and Japan, still lies ahead. Two recently published studies, both of them by jurists with a European legal background who are at present engaged in the service of a war agency of the …
