A Recommended Approach To Bail In International Extradition Cases, Jeffrey A. Hall

Michigan Law Review

This Note proposes such a consistent approach, arguing that courts in international extradition cases should focus on the accused's risk of flight rather than on the presence or absence of specific "special circumstances." Part I briefly discusses the international extradition process and outlines the important societal and individual interests at stake in the bail decision. Part II discusses the origin and evolution of the judicial approaches to bail in international extradition cases and demonstrates the inconsistency in the lower courts' treatment. Part III suggests an approach for making bail decisions in international extradition cases. It argues that the determinative factor …

Racism In Great Britain: Drawing The Line On Free Speech, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

On any given Sunday in Hyde Park, London's huge urban sanctuary of tailored ponds and manicured gardens, one is likely to hear outrageous and provocative public utterances about race and religion. A few of those venting their spleen here are practicing rhetoricians, a few are clearly acting-but others are absolutely sincere in their hatemongering and passionate in their vilification. All of them are focal points for assembled spectators of varying classes, many of whom are professional hecklers. The police, milling about to put down possible disturbances of the peace, are seldom called upon to quell roused rabble. Thus is this …

International Terrorism And The Problem Of Jurisdiction, Sompong Sucharitkul

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Problems of pluri-dimensional complexity of definition, classification and norm-formulation converge in any meaningful endeavor to explore practical measures to prevent, preempt or otherwise to discourage and suppress acts of terrorism on an international scene. The present study is devoted to the treatment of only one of these problems, namely, the problem of jurisdiction. This problem presents itself in more than one connection. To ensure proper appreciation of the nature and scope of the multi-faceted problem of jurisdiction in the context of international terrorism, preliminary attention is focused on the need to adopt a balanced approach to the basic notion of …

United States Antiboycott Laws: An Assessment Of Their Impact Ten Years After Adoption, Howard N. Fenton Iii

UC Law SF International Law Review

Since 1945, Arab states have prohibited trade with Israel. In the mid-1970s the sudden economic leverage of the countries participating in this boycott forced the United States to confront the asserted jurisdiction over American businesses. Concerned with the extraterritorial impact of the Arab boycott, Congress enacted two antiboycott laws. This Article adopts a new four-part analysis of boycott participation by American firms. Then, it examines the history of the Arab boycott and the United States government's responses, including the Arab reaction to the antiboycott laws and the record of the United States agencies responsible for enforcing the laws. The author …

The Legality Of Nuclear Arms Under International Law, David M. Corwin

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

This Article will examine different uses of nuclear weapons and will assess the legality of these uses under positive and customary international law. It will conclude that any nuclear weapon would be encompassed by the prohibition against gas and other related weapons. In addition, it will conclude that in all but its most limited uses, weapons would cause unnecessary suffering, would fail to discriminate between combatants and noncombatants, and would violate the territoriality of neutrals. Even when defenses to violations of international law are available, this Article will demonstrate that the realities associated with the use of nuclear weapons necessitate …

Self Doubts On Approaching Forty: The United Nations' Oldest And Only Collective Security Enforcement Army, The United Nations Command In Korea, Samuel Pollack

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

This paper discusses an anomaly: the United Nations Command in Korea - an international armed force established in 1950 by U.N. member states. Originally, designed to restore international peace and security in Korea, it has recently been questioned by the world organization that gave it life. The author reviews the culmination of events that resulted in the UNC's creation and its continuing viability as an international peace keeping tool.

Controlling The Transfer Of Militarily Significant Technology: Cocom After Toshiba, Joseph Edward Gregory

Fordham International Law Journal

The Note argues that the Toshiba and Krongsberg sales illustrate the critical need of Western allies to agree on a functional means of promoting international trade without compromising international security. Part I examines the illegal sale of ship building technology to the Soviey Union by Toshiba. Part II discusses how COCOM works. Part III analyzes current coproate, national, and multilateral efforts to enhance the effectiveness of export controls. This Note concludes that to prevent future violations, the member nations of COCOM should adjust their export control policies to reflect changes in technological progress and should strive to achieve greater unification …

The End To Unilateral U.S. Action In Latin America: A Call For Expanding The Role Of O.A.S., David A. Rikard

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Nevertheless, due to the threat of general warfare in Central

America, fears of "Revolution Without Borders," and perceived threats to national security interests, the United States may feel that it has no alternative but to continue its already expanding involvement in this region.

This Note advocates the establishment of a multi-national police force, organized under the auspices of the organization of American States. Such a force should preclude the perceived need for unilateral U.S. action, and could be utilized without violating international laws prohibiting intervention.

Jurisdiction As Legal Protection Against Terrorism, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

On June 14, 1985, Robert Stethem was shot to death aboard a hijacked TWA airliner. On October 7, 1985, the Italian cruise-liner, Achille Lauro, was hijacked and the next day Leon Klinghofer was killed and thrown overboard. On Julyu 2, 1986, Rodrgio Rojas was mortally wounded when he was doused with gasoline and set afire while walking with protesters in Santiago, Chile. Soviets are said to leave booby-trapped dolls for Afghan Moujahadeen children. There is evidence that the United States government directly supports the Nicaraguan contras who, in waging their guerilla war, allegedly have killed innocent citizens. It is …

Terrorism And The Constitution, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

How do terrorism and the Iran-Contra hearings relate to the Constitution? My thesis is that there is a tendency for the executive of this or any nation to eschew even constitutionally mandated avenues of problem solving considered to be cumbersome, inefficient, or inimical to the executive’s vision of the national interest in foreign affairs. There is also a tendency to consider one’s own conduct and the conduct of one’s allies and friends to be justified when it is directed at goals deemed by the executive branch to be good. Constitutional provisions based on the checks and balances and separation of …

Extradition And United States Prosecution Of The Achille Lauro Hostage-Takers: Navigating The Hazards, Jordan J. Paust

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

On October 7, 1985, members of a Palestinian group hijacked the passenger ship Achille Lauro. Not only did the hijackers hold more than one hundred passengers and crew members hostage for several days, but they murdered one of the passengers, Leon Klinghoffer, a United States national. On October 9 the hijackers released the vessel and remaining hostages. On October 10 the hijackers and an alleged mastermind of the operation, Mr. Abbas, were on board an Egyptian aircraft flying over the high seas in the Mediterranean when United States military aircraft intercepted the Egyptian aircraft and forced it to land in …

Porfiry's Proposition: Legitimacy And Terrorism, Thomas M. Franck, Scott C. Senecal

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Suppose that, in 1938, the Prague government of President Edvard Benes, foreseeing the inevitable dismemberment of Czechoslovakia after the Munich Pact, had infiltrated a trained death squad of German Jewish exiles across the German border, in civilian clothing, to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Suppose they had succeeded and had then fled to Holland.

How should international law govern this hypothetical event? Should it require Holland either to try the assassins for murder or to return them to Germany for trial? Or should it exculpate, even commend, the assassins for a job well done? Or should the law remain silent? Would the …
