On Amending The Treaty-Making Power: A Comparative Study Of The Problem Of Self-Executing Treaties, Lawrence Preuss Jun 1953

On Amending The Treaty-Making Power: A Comparative Study Of The Problem Of Self-Executing Treaties, Lawrence Preuss

Michigan Law Review

The current furor concerning the treaty-making power of the United States has been aroused by the apprehension that this country might become a party to certain multilateral treaties in the social and economic fields, and, notably, the draft Covenants on Human Rights, the Genocide Convention and the Convention on Political Rights of Women. The plethora of proposed constitutional amendments now before the Congress merely marks an intensification of the controversy, recurrent throughout our history, concerning the legal effect of Article VI, Section 2, of the Constitution of the United States. Problems concerning the relative authority of treaties and other international …


Executive Agreements And The Proposed Constitutional Amendments To The Treaty Power, John F. Spindler S.Ed. Jun 1953

Executive Agreements And The Proposed Constitutional Amendments To The Treaty Power, John F. Spindler S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The advent of the present administration has brought into full bloom a hardy perennial among the annual crop of proposed constitutional amendments. The emergence of the United States from World War II as the leader of the free nations of the world and distrust of the rapid expansion of executive power under the Roosevelt Administration have given impetus to a movement to check any further expansion of the presidential power to conduct our foreign relations. In addition, many people are alarmed by the possibility that this country might become a party to international agreements which would operate to alter or …

An International Bill Of Rights For Prisoners Of War, John Mcginness Jan 1953

An International Bill Of Rights For Prisoners Of War, John Mcginness

Cleveland State Law Review

On August 12, 1949 plenipotentiaries of sixty-one nations of the world, including the United States and the Soviets, concluded a Convention at Geneva which revised the Geneva Convention of July 27, 1929 relative to the treatment of prisoners of war. Many of these revisions are based upon the experiences of World War II. Although neither the United States nor the Soviets have ratified this Convention, the United States Forces in Korea have been, and are, under instructions to observe their provisions at all times. This Convention appears to be a positive step forward in the clarification of international law as …

International Law-Immunity Of Employee Of United Nations Delegation From In Rem Proceedings In Municipal Courts, Allan Neef Jun 1951

International Law-Immunity Of Employee Of United Nations Delegation From In Rem Proceedings In Municipal Courts, Allan Neef

Michigan Law Review

A landlord's summary proceeding for recovery of possession was brought in a New York municipal court against a secretary of the Argentine delegation to the United Nations. The defendant appeared specially and moved to vacate the service of the precept, claiming immunity from suit by virtue of the grant of diplomatic privileges and immunities to official employees of member delegations under Article V of the Headquarters Agreement between the United States and the United Nations. Held, motion denied. Realty not directly pertaining to a delegation's employee's official position is not removed from the jurisdiction of the local courts by …

International Law-Aliens-Confiscation Of Alien Enemy Property-Alien Enemy Character Of Shinto Shrine In Hawaii, Jean Engstrom S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a Hawaiian corporation, brought suit under section 9 of the Trading with the Enemy Act for the return of real and personal property vested in 1948 under authority of section S(b). Evidence was introduced to show that plaintiff's members were largely alien Japanese; that, prior to December 7, 1941, plaintiff operated what purported to be a Shinto shrine in Honolulu where three Japanese gods were worshiped; that the shrine looked like a Shinto shrine and was in some respects operated like one. It was further shown that plaintiff's members had no real understanding of the tenets of Shintoism as …


International Law-Trusteeship Compared With Mandate, Donald S. Leeper S. Ed. Jun 1951

International Law-Trusteeship Compared With Mandate, Donald S. Leeper S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The mandate system represented an attempt to cope with the problem of nonself-governing territories as an international responsibility and, for the most part, was an advancement over former methods of treatment. The system was not perfect and its operation pointed up a number of its defects. The framers of the United Nations Charter formulated the trusteeship system to take the place of the mandate system, correcting its defects and adding certain innovations. The purpose of this comment is to present a brief comparison of the two systems and to consider a few of the major problems presented.

Soviet Concepts Of International Law And Criminal Procedure At The International Conference On Military Trials, London, 1945, Solon Cleanthes Ivrakis

Mercer Law Review

The study of international criminal law has received a new impetus with the establishment of the International Law Commission of the United Nations (1947). Students of international and of comparative law have noted with interest that one of the tasks of this Commission will be the formulation of principles of international law recognized in the Charter of the International Military Tribunal which was adopted by the International Conference on Military Trials, held in London in the summer of 1945.


Extraterritorial Effects Of Confiscations And Expropriations, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenvelden Apr 1951

Extraterritorial Effects Of Confiscations And Expropriations, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenvelden

Michigan Law Review

The study of the problem of extraterritorial effects of confiscations and expropriations from the point of view of Comparative Law has special practical importance. There are hardly any codified rules applicable to foreign confiscations and expropriations, either in statutory law countries or in common law countries. Hence, decisions have to be based largely on generally accepted rules of public and private international law. Such general acceptance can only be proved by a comparative analysis of foreign as well as of domestic precedents.

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 …

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.
