Trade Unions And War: The Right To Organize Under Belligerent Occupation, John Quigley Jan 1990

Trade Unions And War: The Right To Organize Under Belligerent Occupation, John Quigley

UC Law SF International Law Review

The right to organize trade unions is widely recognized as essential to the well being of workers. This right is protected as a human right by the customary law of nations. When a country is occupied in wartime, its trade unions may be regarded with suspicion by the occupying power which may view them as providing a cover for anti-occupation activity. Nonetheless, the right of trade unions to function is not abrogated by the fact of belligerent occupation. An occupant must permit trade unions to carry out their activities.

The Current Status Of Mercenaries In The Law Of Armed Conflict, Edward Kwakwa

UC Law SF International Law Review

Mercenaries have existed since the earliest recorded armed conflict. However, recent trends in the conduct of armed conflict have raised questions over the problem of mercenaries and their status in the laws of war. The Article discusses some of the problems encountered in attempts to regulate the incidence of mercenarism and the norms of international law that govern the treatment of mercenaries in armed conflict.


Terrorism In National And International Law, Caleb M. Pilgrim Jan 1990

Terrorism In National And International Law, Caleb M. Pilgrim

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

Efforts at regulating terrorism so far illustrate one central fact: the lack of balance between our conception of terrorism as applied by the individual practitioner and our conception of terrorism as practiced by government officials. The balance seems weighted in favor of governments even in those pathological cases where the patients had been rather unceremoniously treated for their allergies to dictatorship. Government in some cases control, in others influence, the sources of information concerned with national security. Stigmatization of sometime legitimate resistance - labeling it as "terrorist" - deprived such protests of legitimacy and protection. The people in power, the …


Autocephalous Greek Orthodox Church Of Cyprus V. Goldberg And Feldman Fine Arts, Inc.: A Case For The Use Of Civil Remedies In Effecting The Return Of Stolen Art, Meredith Van Pelt Jan 1990

Autocephalous Greek Orthodox Church Of Cyprus V. Goldberg And Feldman Fine Arts, Inc.: A Case For The Use Of Civil Remedies In Effecting The Return Of Stolen Art, Meredith Van Pelt

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

This Comment will explore the remedies currently available to foreign countries and to individuals who have discovered that works stolen from them are in the possession of American museums, art dealers, and private individuals. It will also explain why, in light of the recent decision of Autocephalous v. Goldberg, civil sanctions are the best means to effect the return of stolen art as well as to help deter future buyers of stolen art, thus shrinking the stolen art market.

Confronting Nuclear Terrorism, Louis Rene Beres Jan 1990

Confronting Nuclear Terrorism, Louis Rene Beres

UC Law SF International Law Review

During the next several years, terrorist groups may resort to the insurgent use of nuclear explosives or radioactivity. Faced with this fearful prospect, the United States should now plan for optimal risk-reduction within the settled jurisprudential standards of international law. This paper, therefore, advises government leaders to fully understand the difference between lawful and unlawful insurgencies; to "harden the target" of nuclear materials, weapons, and reactors; and to implement an appropriate "behavioral" strategy of counter-nuclear terrorism. As the risk of nuclear terrorism has transnational implications, like-minded governments are also offered particular patterns of cooperation that involve, inter alia, support for …


Intramilitary Tort Immunity: A Comparison Of The United States And Great Britain, Jennifer Beckett Jan 1990

Intramilitary Tort Immunity: A Comparison Of The United States And Great Britain, Jennifer Beckett

UC Law SF International Law Review

Great Britain recently eliminated the military exception to the Crown Proceedings Act of 1947. The United States, by comparison, adheres to the Feres doctrine, the judicially created exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act. This note examines the rationales for prohibiting service members from suing under a nation's tort claims act, and the reasons why Parliament decided in 1987 to allow British military personnel to sue under the Crown Proceedings Act. The Note concludes with a discussion of why Congress should follow Britain's lead and abolish the Feres doctrine.

Note, The United States, Israel And Their Extradition Dilemma, Sheryl A. Petkunas Jan 1990

Note, The United States, Israel And Their Extradition Dilemma, Sheryl A. Petkunas

Michigan Journal of International Law

Part I of this note will examine the different approaches taken by the Second, Seventh and Ninth Circuits in their application of the Treaty's political offense exception. Part II will discuss the conflict that may arise from Israel's application of a domestic law which contravenes the purpose of the Treaty. Part III will address both the need for the United States and Israel to reconcile problems in applying the political offense exception through renegotiation and the dilemma arising from the failure of the Israeli government and the Knesset to coordinate policy with regard to the extradition of nationals.


The Impact Of 1992 On United States Export Control Laws, Giovanna M. Cinelli Jan 1990

The Impact Of 1992 On United States Export Control Laws, Giovanna M. Cinelli

UC Law SF International Law Review

United States export control laws govern the majority of trade in dual use and defense related items and services between the United States and its major trading partners. The present system requires licenses and reexport authorization for the goods which are traded. For several years, however, United States trading partners have objected to the reach of these laws and United States industry has complained of the competitive disadvantage to which these laws subject many international companies. The onset of the economic integration of Europe, an integration which will result in the world's largest market, has refocused United States congressional and …


The Modern Blood Feud: Thoughts On The Philosophy Of Terrorism, Christopher L. Blakesley Jan 1990

The Modern Blood Feud: Thoughts On The Philosophy Of Terrorism, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

Herman Melville brilliantly lets us feel, through Captain Ahab, the sensation of destructive rage, hatred and violence. Sadly, Melville's insight penetrates to the core of society, perhaps of each of us, in today's omnipresent terroristic melodrama. We have all suffered moments of vicarious terror and rage over the past few years as we watched news accounts of terrorist incidents, such as the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The melodrama of terrorism has penetrated each of our lives. We see it and feel the rage nearly on a daily basis. Innocent children, women and men aboard Pan …


Long Arms And Chemical Arms: Extraterritoriality And The Draft Chemical Weapons Convention, David A. Koplow Jan 1990

Long Arms And Chemical Arms: Extraterritoriality And The Draft Chemical Weapons Convention, David A. Koplow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Chemical warfare has long been considered a particularly loathsome form of combat. The specter of unprotected soldiers and nearby noncombatants incapacitated or killed within moments by invisible, silent, odorless vapors discharged by a far-distant enemy has terrified many, and has also energized repeated international attempts to prohibit, or at least to moderate, these applications of deadly science.


Covert Involvement In Essentially Internal Conflicts: United States Assistance To The Contras Under International Law, Helen Michael Jan 1990

Covert Involvement In Essentially Internal Conflicts: United States Assistance To The Contras Under International Law, Helen Michael

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Article examines whether contemporary international law is equipped to address the recurrent phenomenon of covert involvement by a state in internal conflicts of another state. Ms. Michael analyzes this phenomenon in the context of United States assistance to the Contras in collective self-defense on behalf of El Salvador, and Nicaragua's concomitant support of the Salvadoran Rebels' attempts to overthrow the existing El Salvador Government. Ms. Michael summarizes the extensive history of conflict between the United States and Nicaragua culminating in the contemporary dispute existing between the Reagan Administration and the Sandinista Government. Both the Sandinistas and the Reagan Administration …

The Prosecution Of War Criminals In Canada, W J. Fenrick Oct 1989

The Prosecution Of War Criminals In Canada, W J. Fenrick

Dalhousie Law Journal

A Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, headed by Mr. Justice Jules Deschenes, was established by the Federal Government on 7 February 1985 to determine whether or not alleged Nazi war criminals were resident in Canada and to recommend legal measures to ensure that such war criminals are brought to justice. The Commission submitted a two part Report to the Governor General in Council on 30 December 1986. Part I has been published, and Part II, concerned with allegations against specific individuals is confidential. The Commission, bearing in mind the concern of the Canadian public about all atrocities related to …


Representing Nazism: Advocacy And Identity At The Trial Of Klaus Barbie, Guyora Binder May 1989

Representing Nazism: Advocacy And Identity At The Trial Of Klaus Barbie, Guyora Binder

Journal Articles

Noting the enormous media interest in the war crimes trial of Klaus Barbie, and the surprising emphasis of this coverage on its cultural significance, this essay provides a literary reading of the trial as a contest over identity. More specifically, it treats the trial and its coverage as a struggle among competing groups - including the French state, various strands of the French left, the French right, resistance veterans, holocaust survivors, Zionists, Arabs, anti-colonialists - for the power to represent Nazism. All of these groups sought to define Nazism so as to claim a privileged identity as essential victims or …


The Status Of The Law Of Nations In Early American Law, Stewart Jay Apr 1989

The Status Of The Law Of Nations In Early American Law, Stewart Jay

Vanderbilt Law Review

A perennial issue is the relationship of international law to the domestic law of the United States. The question appears in various con-texts, but in each the central problem is determining whether the body of customary international law is binding on the national and state governments. Discussions about this subject inevitably lead to consideration of separation of powers at the national level. If the United States may depart from international law, which branch of government has the power to do so? If one branch transgresses international law, is this action binding on the others?' For example, a recent case examined …
