The Legal Position Of Foreigners In Soviet Russia, Leo Zaitzeff Dr. Mar 1926

The Legal Position Of Foreigners In Soviet Russia, Leo Zaitzeff Dr.

Michigan Law Review

The Soviet Government has replaced the entire previous legal order by legislation of its own; it is therefore not surprising that even in well informed legal circles outside of Russia very vague and indefinite notions exist regarding the legal situation there. In the last few years moreover, many states have considered it necessary to recognize the Soviet Government. Since this recognition or even before, there have been some economic undertakings within &met territory by foreign individuals, but even these persons for the most part were entirely unfamiliar with the Soviet laws.

International Law--Treaties--Are The Rum Tretaties Self-Executing? Jan 1926

International Law--Treaties--Are The Rum Tretaties Self-Executing?

Michigan Law Review

On May 22, 1924, the United States concluded a treaty with Great Britain by which the latter power agreed that it would raise no objection to the search and seizure of its ships by American authorities on the high seas, provided there was reason to suspect that such ships were committing or attempting to commit an offense against United States laws, and provided the search and seizure were made within an hour's run of the American coast. In return the United States conceded to British ships the privilege of bringing into its ports liquor in bond in their ship stores. …

Canada's Treaty Making Power, C. D. Allin Jan 1926

Canada's Treaty Making Power, C. D. Allin

Michigan Law Review

The question of the treaty-making power of the Dominion of Canada was raised in an acute form during the negotiations between Great Britain and the United States governments over the halibut fisheries. After several years of investigation and negotiation, a draft agreement was drawn up by the American State Department and sent to the Canadian government through the British ambassador at Washington. According to the title and preamble of the treaty, the convention was drawn up between the United States and Great Britain, but by Article I, "The Nationals and inhabitants and fishing vessels and boats of the United States …


The New Law Of Nations, Edwin D. Dickinson Dec 1925

The New Law Of Nations, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

"In these disillusioned years which are the aftermath of the World War the law of nations has come to be regarded in many quarters with a kind of sophisticated skepticism. It is freely asserted that the law has proved a futile reliance, that it has broken down, and it is asked--with an air of unbelief too obvious to be misunderstood--What is there that is ever likely to be done about it?"

International Law--Witholding Of Political Recognition--Suit By Russian Corporation In Court Of Equity, Edwin D. Dickinson Nov 1925

International Law--Witholding Of Political Recognition--Suit By Russian Corporation In Court Of Equity, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

"The plaintiff corporation was incorporated in Russia under the Imperial government. Prior to the Russian Revolution it had deposited certain securities and moneys with the defendant, as trustee, as required by the New York statutes, for the protection of policy-holders and creditors. In this suit to compel the return of the funds the defendant claimed that the plaintiff corporation was no longer in existence because of the Russian Soviet decrees.... Held, that although the court cannot recognize the legal validity of the decrees of the Soviet government, the facts of the situation are such that justice and reason require …


The Russian Reinsurance Case, Edwin D. Dickinson Oct 1925

The Russian Reinsurance Case, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

Professor Dickinson's second commentary on Russian Reinsurance Company v. Stoddard and Bankers Trust Company: "The facts in the Russian Reinsurance Company case were without precedent. The Reinsurance Company had been incorporated in Russia in 1899 under a special statute constituting its charter and by-laws.... In 1917 the revolutionary Soviet Government was established in Russia and seven of the eight persons constituting the company's board of directors was driven into exile. In 1918 Soviet decrees nationalized the company, confiscated its property, and apparently terminated its corporate existence. Nevertheless, the exiled directors held meetings in Paris and continued to direct the …


Recent Recognition Cases, Edwin D. Dickinson Apr 1925

Recent Recognition Cases, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

"The prolonged interval during which the United States declined to recognize the government functioning in Mexico, and the still more protracted period during which recognition has been withheld from the de facto government in Russia, have produced some unusually interesting problems with respect to the appropriate judicial attitude toward an unrecognized de facto foreign government."

International Political Questions In The National Courts, Edwin D. Dickinson Jan 1925

International Political Questions In The National Courts, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

"Much has been made of the principle, in England and America, that international law is part of the national law to be applied by national courts in appropriate circumstances. As Mr. Justice Gray has expressed it, in the Paquete Habana: 'International law is part of our law, and must be ascertained and administered by the courts of justice of appropriate jurisdiction, as often as question of right depending upon it are duly presented for their determination...'

This principle is useful, where it is applicable, but it is subject to limitations which are sometimes inadequately appreciated ..."


Is The Crime Of Piracy Obsolete?, Edwin D. Dickinson Jan 1925

Is The Crime Of Piracy Obsolete?, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

"A few years ago it might have been surmised that in America at least a good deal of the old code in respect to piracy had passed from the law in reserve into the law in history. The important cases were nearly all one hundred years old or more....

There have been recent events, however, which challenge the assumption that the law of piracy is chiefly of historical significance. The country had hardly entered upon the new period of national prohibition when the rum ships descended upon its coasts... There sprang up, in consequence, to prey upon the rum ships, …


International Law-Extraterritorial Seizures In Times Of Peace-The Recent "Rum" Treaties Dec 1924

International Law-Extraterritorial Seizures In Times Of Peace-The Recent "Rum" Treaties

Michigan Law Review

It is commonly accepted as a general rule of the law of nations that the territorial jurisdiction of a littoral state extends three miles into the adjacent sea. 1 HYDE, INTERNATIONAL LAW, §141; EVANS, CASES ON INTERNATIONAL LAW, 2nd ed., p. 152, note. It has been held that even this rule does not preclude rights of innocent passage within three miles of the coast, The Queen v. Keyn (1876) L. R. Z. Exchq. Div. 63; EVANS, supra, p. 155 note; HYDE, supra; or of involuntary entrance by "stress of weather or by inevitable necessity'', 1 HYDE, supra, …

Some Unofficial Relations With Soviet Russia, Everett S. Brown Mar 1924

Some Unofficial Relations With Soviet Russia, Everett S. Brown

Michigan Law Review

On August 28, 1923, Colonel William N. Haskell, in charge of the distribution work of the American Relief Administration in Russia, reported to Herbert Hoover on the accomplishments of that organization. In a period of less than two years, 1921 to 1923, nearly 1,000,000 tons of food, seed, clothing and medical supplies were bought in the United States for distribution in Russia. At the height of its activity the American Relief Administration fed nearly II,000,000 men, women and children daily. Supplies for over 15,000 hospitals and institutions were furnished, and over 7,000,000 individuals were inoculated or vaccinated in the campaign …


Humanitarian Intervention In International Law As Related To The Practice Of The United States, Malbone W. Graham Feb 1924

Humanitarian Intervention In International Law As Related To The Practice Of The United States, Malbone W. Graham

Michigan Law Review

One of the outstanding results of the Great War, as regards international law, has been the tendency to question the bases of that law and to subject almost every portion of it to a minute examination, to determine its adequacy in governing effectively the relations of states to each other. This wholesale questioning has not confined itself merely to the laws of war and of neutrality-open as most of them may be to objection as a result of the practices in the course of the war-but also to the international law of peace, as regards the doctrine of the equality …

L. REV. 413. The plan became operative upon ratification by a majority of the members of the League in September, 1921, and judges were elected immediately thereafter.

The Unrecognized Government Or State In English And American Law, Edwin D. Dickinson Dec 1923

The Unrecognized Government Or State In English And American Law, Edwin D. Dickinson

Michigan Law Review

Probably no one in the British Empire or the United States would question the doctrine that it belongs exclusively to the political departments to recognize new governments or states. The difficulties involved are those which arise in the application of a doctrine so broadly stated. Not every situation involving an unrecognized government or state requires the decision of a question of recognition. If the decision of a political question is not involved, then it is entirely proper for the courts to take cognizance of a mere de facto government or state. In what situations may the courts appropriately take account …
