The Amending Of Articles 23 And 27 Of The United Nations Charter: A Mathematical Analysis, Robert S. Junn

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

From the time of the San Francisco Conference, the composition of the Security Council and its voting procedure was most severely criticized. The basic criticism had been the veto power of the five permanent members on substantive resolutions. This resulted in a long and vigorous political struggle on the part of the non-veto members of the Organization to amend the Charter in order to increase their voting strength in the Security Council. When the changes on membership and voting procedure came into force on August 31, 1965, a great victory was claimed. This case of the United Nations is intriguing …

Presidential War-Making, Henry Paul Monaghan

Faculty Scholarship

The Vietnam "war" has convinced many persons that the president of the United States claims apparently unlimited power to commit this country to war. Not surprisingly, therefore, considerable interest has focused on the powers that inhere in the presidency. And many critics of the war – those who in other times and in other contexts might have been sympathetic to a spacious conception of presidential power – have concluded that the Vietnam conflict is not only a tragic error, but is the direct result of unconstitutional conduct by the president. I cannot accept this view; at bottom, it seems to …

The Machinery Of Criminal Justice In England And The United States, William Burns Lawless

Journal Articles

This article will lay side by side the major structures of the English and American criminal law procedures and will attempt to draw some conclusions helpful to strengthening American technique. Such a comparison is relevant at this time because of the mounting concern of the American people with the problem of crime and the particular feeling that, in some mysterious way, our courts or the men who man them have not properly responded to the cruel waves of lawlessness which engulf us. In other quarters, there is a feeling that the police are either inept or inadequate to the challenge …

Law Of Outer Space - Summarized, Jeffrey Prevost

Cleveland State Law Review

I hope that by this paper I can show that the body of knowledge concerning outer space, and the present capabilities of exploitation of space actually warrant immediate codification of boundaries of permissible extraterrestrial activities. The rate of change of acquisition of scientific knowledge and technological ability has increased geometrically since the end of the Dark Ages. From this it should be evident that, even if we feel that space does not warrant our legal consideration at this stage of development, the time of practical exploitation may be so close at hand that a prior formulation of policy and law …

Political Hijacking: What Law Applies In Peace And War, William H. Reeves

Vanderbilt Law Review

A new breed of hijackers has evolved as a product of international political strife of recent years. In attempts to escape an actual or self-styled oppressive environment, these political hijackers cause irreparable injury and serious danger to travelers, and complicate the operation of many transportation companies. After sketching the problems involved in providing adequate reparations to the injured passengers and corporations, and in implementing adequate punishment of the offenders, Mr. Reeves examines the question of whether a hijacked ship or plane might be retained by the arrival country rather than returned to its foreign owner. The author concludes that such …

Bergman V. Minister Of Finance, Moshe Landau, Shimon Agranat, Yoel Sussman, Zvi Berinson, Eliyahu Manny

Translated Opinions

Section 4 of Basic Law: The Knesset, requires that elections to the Knesset shall be "general, nationwide, direct, equal, secret and proportional". Sections 4 and 46 of this Law require that any amendment to section 4 be approved by an absolute majority of the Knesset. In 1969, the Knesset passed a Law providing public financing of the election campaign for the seventh Knesset, scheduled to be held in 1970. According to the provisions of this Law, which was not passed by an absolute majority, such funding is granted solely to party factions which are represented in the outgoing Knesset.

Vietnam And Public International Law, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

With each international crisis inevitably come the self­styled "realists" proclaiming that there is no such thing as public international law. The Vietnam war is no exception, although here, due to the unusual complexity of the facts and the controversy over the applicable rules of international law, many of the published replies to the "realist's" positions have themselves been insubstantial and unconvincing. Let us look first, briefly, at the arguments of one of the realists, and then, with equal brevity, at some of the counterclaims. The remainder of this comment will be addressed to the larger issues involved and some suggested …

War Crimes And Vietnam: The "Nuremberg Defense" And The Military Service Resister, Anthony D'Amato, Harvey . L. Gould, Larry D. Woods

Faculty Working Papers

We have attempted to establish first that the international laws of warfare are part of American law, and have argued that these laws, when taken as prohibitions of specific methods of waging war, are a practical and effective means of controlling unnecessary suffering and destruction. Second, we have analyzed these laws as they apply to treatment of prisoners of war, aerial bombardment of nonmilitary targets, and chemical and biological warfare, and have marshalled a portion of the available evidence that American forces commit war crimes in Vietnam. Third, we have discussed the defenses of tu quoque, reprisal, military necessity, superior …
