United States Policy Regarding Recognition Of Foreign States, Randall S. Leff

UC Law SF International Law Review

Recognition is the act whereby the executive of a nation formally acknowledges the existence of a new state or government and determines all of the legal consequences flowing from this act to the new state or government. The author of this note proposes that recognition should be founded upon international legal standards, rather than political considerations.

Arms Sales And The Major Western Powers, Arthur Cyr

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The purpose of this essay is to discuss analytically the overseas arms sales policies of the three major Western supplier nations--the United States, Britain, and France. It is appropriate to group them together because they all have similar goals and characteristics. All are Atlantic Area NATO nations. They are democratic and are based upon largely private economies. The three nations have general histories of cooperation and alliance dating back to before the beginning of this century.

This analysis is based on the assumption that military trade between the industrialized and lesser-developed countries is especially likely to destabilize international relations since …

Arms Transfers By The United States: Merchant Of Death Or Arsenal Of Democracy, Archibald S. Alexander

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Controversial events of the last few years have presented the American public with the question whether arms transfers by the United States have gotten out of hand. Has our country become the chief "merchant of death," as believed by many at the time of Senator Nye's investigation soon after World War I, or is it the "arsenal of democracy," as generally believed during and after World War II? This article deals with transfers of all kinds of non-nuclear arms from or by the United States, and it examines all types of transfers including grants, transfers on credit, government to government …

Book Review, Nicholas A. Sims

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

It is a pleasure to welcome a well-written book on arms control, and one, moreover, that has grown out of the exigencies of an undergraduate course and is designed to meet the needs of students. Because INTERNATIONAL ARMS CONTROL: ISSUES AND AGREEMENTS was the work of several hands, its lucidity and consistency are the more admirable. Comprehensive in scope, it goes just far enough in setting arms control in its various contexts (political, military, cultural, and ethical) without straying out of bounds. It raises a multitude of questions without pretending to answer them all. I found it refreshing to read …

Political Prisoners: The Law And Politics Of Protection, David P. Forsythe

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In the fall of 1975 the United States, in a much publicized step at the United Nations, introduced an abortive resolution calling for world-wide amnesty for political prisoners. Admittedly, this draft resolution was withdrawn because of crippling amendments, and it may well be that this American initiative was launched more to deflect criticism to others than to help political prisoners. But it seems to be the case--at least from a Western perspective--that political prisoners are becoming a more salient subject in world affairs. The concept of political prisoners has existed for quite awhile. In the last decade and a half, …

The Trial Of General Tomoyuki Yamashita: A Case Study In Command Responsibility, L. H. Redford

History Theses & Dissertations

The case of General 'Tomoyuki Yamashita, the subject of this thesis, established a precedent in international law, at least so far as the United States respected that law, Its successful prosecution prepared the way for the prosecution of numerous, subsequent war crimes cases, upon a standard of liability developed and approved by the United States in Yamashita, and without regard for the attenuated procedural protections granted in American civil courts. General Mac-Arthur played an important part in Yamashita’s trial, and this essay shall also discuss the extent of his interest and involvement in the case.

The Petrodollar Energy Crisis: An Overview And Interpretation, Abbas Alnasrawi

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Any meaningful analysis of the current petrodollar situation requires an understanding of the evolution of relationships between oil companies and the governments of the oil producing countries during the first half of this century, due to the great influence these relationships have had on the present situation. This paper hope to present an understanding of these dynamic players during the 20th century.

Revolution-A Spiritual Phenomenon: A Study In The History Of Ideas, Henry E. Strakosch

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The irrational and utopian note of the revolution remained constant through its long and eventful history. I will try to show that the idea of modern revolution is not simply an attack on an established authority, but a phenomenon sui generis, i.e., an attack on order as such, based on an identifiable metaphysical position. The present article may be regarded as an attempt to contribute through an uncovering of the spiritual roots of the revolution, to an understanding upon which depends the survival of personal values in the social order, at a time when that order seems threatened from without …

Amended Article 1 Of Draft Protocol I To The 1949 Geneva Conventions: The Coming Of Age Of The Guerrilla, James E. Bond

Faculty Articles

This article asserts that Captain David Graham, writing in this issue of the Washington and Lee Law Review, savages amended Article 1 of draft Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Specifically, he attacks the Article on the following grounds: (1) it is politically motivated by third-worlders determined to remake international law according to their own preferences; (2) it is poorly drafted and therefore cannot be implemented effectively; and (3) it would legitimize wars of national liberation and lead to discriminatory treatment of combatants. These are serious charges, raised by a serious scholar, whose closeness to the subject and to …
