The Bases And Range Of Federal Common Law In Private International Matters, Harold G. Maier

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

During the past decade, there has been increasing attention on the part of legal scholars to the need for a clear statement outlining the divisions of state and federal power in this difficult area. In two important cases, the Supreme Court indicated renewed judicial interest in the problem. To date, however, the federal courts have not succeeded in establishing a uniform and workable guide by which the validity of state action may be judged in the absence of definitive federal policy. This deficiency has posed difficulties for state legislatures in arriving at law-making decisions and for the courts in testing …

The Effect Of International Lending Programs In The Developing Nations

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

While the effect of international lending programs in the developing countries is of considerable interest to the international lender, it is obviously of vital interest to the people and the leaders of developing countries. The effect of an international loan on the development of his country is of primary importance to the national leader. Paying the interest and amortization of such loans entails an effort, and a clear cost, to every developing nation. Therefore, the benefits derived from an international loan must be worth this effort and cost to the borrower.

In most discussions among bankers of the effect of …

The Development Of A United States Approach Toward The International Court Of Justice, Philip C. Jessup

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This article is not designed as a history of the International Court of Justice, nor as a legal analysis of the way in which the Court functions. Rather, the purpose is to describe the attitude of the United States, i.e., the Department of State, toward the actual use of the Court in a variety of situations, some of which involved important interests of the United States and others of which did not. The concentration in this article is on the jurisdiction of the Court to give advisory opinions, since it is in connection with proposals to request such opinions that …

The Statutory Proposal To Regulate The Jurisdictional Immunities Of Foreign States, R. Lee Bennett

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In January 1973, the Departments of State and Justice submitted to Congress a draft bill that defines the jurisdictional immunities of foreign states in United States courts. This draft legislation represents a major shift in the State Department's posture on the substantive and procedural issues of sovereign immunity that will undoubtedly stir considerable controversy within the international bar during its examination by Congress.

A survey of current United States practice regarding the immunity of foreign states reveals that reform is mandatory. At present the determination whether a foreign state is entitled to jurisdictional immunity is made by the courts, whose …

Policy Issues In Primary Industries, Zuhayr Mikdashi

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Business and government have espoused a variety of policies to exploit market forces to their advantage. This article explores the policies involved with important issues affecting relationships among protagonists in primary industries and offers some suggestions. The first section deals with "freeing" the supply of key information not normally accessible to less developed countries(LDC's). Sections two and three relate to two aspects of international trade: easing hardships resulting from interruptions in re-source flows; and redistributing gain from resource industries among trading countries. The final two sections of the article deal with development financing, and with the accommodation of foreign investments …

Judicial Deference In The Submerged Lands Cases, Jonathan I. Charney

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

When the Constitution established three branches of government, it did not create three hermetically sealed areas of responsibility. The executive, legislative and judicial branches are required to govern through a certain degree of accommodation. One area in which the need for accommodation between the judicial branch and the other two branches was recognized at an early stage is cases containing questions bearing on foreign relations.' Under the Constitution it appears that the conduct of the foreign relations is vested in the Executive with a secondary role for the Congress, but that the courts have no role to play in this …

French Nuclear Testing And Article 41--Another Blow To The Authority Of The Court?, Jerome B. Elkind

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

On the 23rd of July 1973, at 9:00 a.m. New Zealand time, members of the crew of the New Zealand vessel, Otago, witnessed a nuclear explosion on one of the islands in the Mururoa atoll. The blast, a small one in the low kiloton range, marked the beginning of the eighth series of French atmospheric nuclear tests, which have been conducted in the Pacific since July 1966 when France moved its nuclear test site from the Reggane Firing Ground in the Sahara. Since that time the French nuclear tests have been a perennial sore spot in the diplomatic relations between …

International Law—Act Of State Doctrine—First National City Bank V. Banco Nacional De Cuba, 406 U.S. 759 (1972), Jack E. Sands

Washington Law Review

International comity demands that one sovereign ordinarily recognize the legitimacy of the acts of another, questioning their validity under neither internal nor international law. A challenge to the legality of the acts of another nation-state may entail serious international repercussions; such challenges thus have been considered grave matters of national diplomatic policy within the exclusive competency of the political branches of government. Judicial recognition of this fact is reflected in the act of state doctrine—the refusal of the courts of one nation-state to investigate the legality of official governmental acts performed in another. This doctrine, accepted in varying degrees by …

The Legal Aspects Of Containerization, C. Douglas Skinner

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

A not-so-quiet revolution has been sweeping the transportation industry with the advent of containerization, a practice wherein goods are loaded into a 20' by 40' x 8' box of metal, wood or fiberglass, sealed, and shipped as a unit or package via rail, truck, freighter, or even air. While the use of the container for point-to-point shipment is part of the larger aspect of intermodal transportation, or the process through which the container travels by way of the differing methods or modes of transportation, this paper will deal primarily in how the ocean shipping industry interacts legally with the other …
