The United Nations And The Environment: Sometimes A Great Notion?, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

This article presents an historical retrospective of the efforts of the United Nations to deal, rather unsuccessfully, with the global environment.

Today, as in the late 1970’s and the 1980’s, the success of transnational environmental programs cannot be measured within an isolated prism; but, rather, with a realization of resource interdependence. There is no over-arching principle of shared responsibility among the states which acknowledges an obligation for them to compromise sovereignty in the name of promoting the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). The UN’s global protection plan, as it emerged from the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and …

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note synthesizes a customary international standard of usage for automatic submarine mines, taking into account existing international agreements and recent history. It then details the questionable nature of recent mine use in Nicaragua and the Red Sea, as judged against the synthesized standard, and the differing positions on acceptable standards of mine use asserted by the United States.

Authorization Cards And Union Representation Election Outcome: An Empirical Assessment Of The Assumption Underlying The Supreme Court's Gissel Decision, Laura J. Cooper

Articles

The National Labor Relations Act created the National Labor Re- lations Board (NLRB) and vested the Board with two principal respon- sibilities. First, the NLRB is responsible for conducting secret ballot elections among employees to ascertain whether they desire a collective bargaining representative.' Second, the NLRB is responsible for reme- dying unfair labor practices.2 These dual responsibilities, protection of employee free choice and remediation of unfair labor practices, may conflict when the Board is asked to provide a remedy for unfair labor practices that occur during the course of a union representation elec- tion campaign. The Board has been concerned …

Enterprise Zones As Tools Of Urban Industrial Policy, Benedicte E. F. Mathijsen

Michigan Journal of International Law

This note examines the operation of the enterprise zone program in the United Kingdom and considers the program's implications for the United States (U.S.), which also suffers from urban industrial decay and which has now begun studying proposals for an enterprise zone program of its own. The note concludes that, based on the limited data available thus far, the enterprise zone program alone is inadequate to lure industry back to depressed areas. The success of the enterprise zones depends in large measure upon parallel government programs, suggesting that the zones cannot be viewed as potential replacements of existing government aid …

The U.S. Commitment To The Gatt System: A Reappraisal Of Basic Assumptions, Thomas R. Howell, R. Michael Gadbaw

Michigan Journal of International Law

The GATT system was established by a fairly homogeneous group of 24 countries in the late 1940s. With the exception of the U.S., the signatory nations were, for the most part, European or British Commonwealth countries with market economies. These governments shared a rough consensus on the fundamental goals of an international trading system. They intended to avoid the economic warfare that had characterized international trade in the late 1930s. Trading relationships were to be governed by a mutual commitment to commonly understood notions of fairness and equity. This meant allowing producing enterprises to compete, according to a set of …

Revolutions And Treaty Termination, Philip Noonan

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

It is a widely accepted principle of international law that ordinary changes in government do not affect treaty obligations. During the course of the twentieth century, however, certain states and some writers have asserted that revolutionary changes in government do affect treaty obligations. Nevertheless, many states continue to adhere to the rigid rule that treaty obligations should not be affected even by radical changes in government. This rule can create anomalous and unreasonable results. Accordingly, it may be better to replace the present blanket rule with a flexible test that encompasses all relevant factors and provides a result in accordance …

The Transnational Boycott As Economic Coercion In International Law: Policy, Place, And Practice, Christopher C. Joyner

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Despite the technological and political intricacies that earmark the current international economic system, the transnational boycott remains a prominent technique of international economic coercion.

The transnational boycott can be described as a coercive quasi-conspiratorial combination effort by one state to prevent another state from transacting commercial business. Threats or intimidation may be directed at the target state's customers to induce them to withhold or withdraw their patronage. While the ends and means of transnational boycotts may seem clear, their legal status appears to be open to conjecture. This situation can be attributed in no small part to the more sophisticated …

The Iranian Asset Negotiations, John E. Hoffman, Jr.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

At the outset, I owe an obligation to you and to my fellow panelists to reveal my true colors. Following the remarks of Mr. Aksen and Mr. Rhodes, you would be entitled to expect me to give some examples of how some distressed clients entered this wonderful world of arbitration, how the scales fell from their corporate eyes, and how their problems were solved. I am going to tell a bit of a story this afternoon. The focus of it is arbitration, but I should tell you it is not an arbitration that occurred. The story is of an arbitration …
