Critical Examination Of Peace Agencies Since 1919, Gilbert Gidel Dec 1931

Critical Examination Of Peace Agencies Since 1919, Gilbert Gidel

West Virginia Law Review

I intend to consider the practical value of the various means aiming at the prevention of war that have been suggested or put into effect since 1919. Why since 19197 I do not think that international law was created in 1919. But, whether one wishes it or not, an effort, unprecedented until now, has been devoted to the study of the technique of peace. The struggle against war is no longer limited to sentimental effusions, or fireside dreams: it has become an object of science; even of applied science. The program of the technique of peace is generally formulated today …


The Recognition Of Russia, Edwin D. Dickinson Dec 1931

The Recognition Of Russia, Edwin D. Dickinson

Michigan Law Review

Revolution in Russia culminated, on March 15, 1917, in the abdication of the Romanoffs and the establishment of the Provisional Government. In November, 1917, the Provisional Government was overthrown by the Bolsheviki and the Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic was proclaimed. Thus in nine turbulent months authority in Russia passed from the autocracy of the Czars, through the ineffective hands of the moderates, to extreme radicals frankly committed to communism and the dictatorship of the proletariat.


Recognition Cases In American Courts, 1923-1930, John S. Tennant Apr 1931

Recognition Cases In American Courts, 1923-1930, John S. Tennant

Michigan Law Review

Although the Soviets have maintained complete, uninterrupted, and practically undisputed control over most of the territory of the former Russian Empire for more than ten years, the United States still refuses to recognize the Soviet government as the international representative of Russia. The first general consideration of the legal situation engendered by the policy of our government was contained in an article by Professor Edwin D. Dickinson, "The Unrecognized Government or State in English and American Law,'' which appeared in the Michigan Law Review in 1923. In view of the importance of this matter, and the number of cases involving …

International Standing In Court Of Foreign Corporations, Elvin R. Latty Nov 1930

International Standing In Court Of Foreign Corporations, Elvin R. Latty

Michigan Law Review

The Supreme Court of Mexico has recently pronounced a decision of more than passing interest to the American Bar, not only because of the legal basis upon which the decision was rendered, but also because of its probable far-reaching consequences. The plaintiff corporation, organized under the laws of Delaware, brought suit for infringement of its trade mark which had been duly registered in Mexico. The Supreme Court held that inasmuch as the plaintiff was not registered in Mexico it had no existence there for the purposes of bring suit. It does not appear that the plaintiff was engaged in business …

The United States And The League Of Nations, Clarence A. Berdahl Apr 1929

The United States And The League Of Nations, Clarence A. Berdahl

Michigan Law Review

With the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles by the necessary number of Powers on January 10, 1920, there came into existence that new experiment in international cooperation and government known as the League of Nations. It has grown from a membership of 43 states in 1920 to 55 in 1929. Including Great Powers and Small Powers, states of Europe, Asia, Africa, South, Central, and even North America, it can in no sense of the word be properly characterized as a European league merely, or another Holy Alliance, but is truly a world organization. Only Afghanistan, Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, Russia, …

The Doctrine Of "Hot Pursuit"--A New Application Mar 1928

The Doctrine Of "Hot Pursuit"--A New Application

Michigan Law Review

A recent decision of the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina involves a point apparently unique in the records of international law. The Vinces, a schooner of British registry, laden with a cargo of intoxicating liquors not under seal, was discovered by the United States Coast Guard cutter Mascoutin seven and one-half miles off the coast and within one hour's sailing distance from the United States headed in the direction of land. On being hailed by the Mascoutin, the Vinces turned about and headed for the high seas. The cutter followed in continuous chase and overtook …

International Law-Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction Feb 1928

International Law-Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction

Michigan Law Review

The importance of assertions of the right to punish extraterritorial crime is directly related to the advance of international commercial and social intercourse. The earliest serious attempts to assert such a jurisdiction date only from the eighteenth century. Now, practically every state exercises some degree of jurisdiction over offenses committed abroad. But the extent of the power claimed by the different nations varies so as to cause doubt as to what is the international rule on the subject.


The Case Of The S. S. "Lotus", George Wendell Berge Feb 1928

The Case Of The S. S. "Lotus", George Wendell Berge

Michigan Law Review

A momentous judgment was rendered by the Permanent Court of International Justice, sitting at the Hague, on September 7, 1927, in the Case of the S.S. Lotus. Interest in the case is especially manifest among students of international and maritime law, as well as others, because it is perhaps the first case to come before the Permanent Court in which the question for decision was a point of general international law. Thorough analysis and comment on the questions involved would fill a good-sized volume. Only a few observations can be made in this article on the merits of the …


Treaties-Scope Of Treaty--Making Power--When Treaties Are Self-Executing Jan 1928

Treaties-Scope Of Treaty--Making Power--When Treaties Are Self-Executing

Michigan Law Review

The scope of the treaty-making power, and the considerations that govern in determining when a treaty is self-executing and when it requires subsequent legislation to make its terms effective, received an interesting discussion in a recent case decided in the United States District Court of the District of Maryland.

Equality In International Law, Arnold D. Mcnair

Michigan Law Review

Under this title 1 propose to discuss the present position of the old doctrine of the Equality of States, to consider whether it has been helpful in the development of international society, and what prospect there is of that society finding in international law an instrument wherewith to bring about less inequality between States than at present exists.

New Avenues To Freedom, Edwin D. Dickinson Apr 1927

New Avenues To Freedom, Edwin D. Dickinson

Michigan Law Review

Lay opinion regards the law of nations as a weak and ineffective system. It is the fashion to deplore the inefficacy: of its precepts and to regard it as a sort of benevolent code unsupported by any forces which can really compel observance. There is a good deal of loose talk about providing sanctions. The truth is, however, that few systems of law are so infested with tyrannies. It is not sanctions which are needed so much as opportunities for growth. It is not the buttressing of existing dogmas which is required so much as new avenues to freedom.

Sidelights On The Permanent Court Of International Justice, Ake Hammarskjold Feb 1927

Sidelights On The Permanent Court Of International Justice, Ake Hammarskjold

Michigan Law Review

In bidding you welcome, in the name of the Permanent Court of International Justice, in this room where that great institution holds its public meetings and pronounces its judgments and opinions, my first word should be, I think, one of regret-regret that a more worthy representative of the Court has not been able to receive you here today. And I daresay that the President of the Court, who would have been the obvious person to welcome you, shares those regrets,-although perhaps from a different point of view. He would, in fact, have liked immensely to be able to meet you …

International Unions For The Protection Of Industrial, Literary And Artistic Property, M. Ostertag Dec 1926

International Unions For The Protection Of Industrial, Literary And Artistic Property, M. Ostertag

Michigan Law Review

The League of Nations, whose guests we presently are in this handsome city of Geneva, is certainly the most· important of the associations of states because its purpose, the peace of the world, is the most noble. It is also one of the youngest of such associations. You do me a great honor, Ladies and Gentlemen, in asking me to introduce to you today two much older sisters of the League of Nations, sisters whose reputation is indeed less brilliant and universal, but of whom people may perhaps say what they say of married ladies: "The best are always those …
