Iii. Recent French Extradition Cases, Michigan Journal Of International Law

Michigan Journal of International Law

This section of the appendix contains the first published collection of recent French extradition cases dealing with the application of the political offense exception to terrorists. Because of the selective fashion in which French decisional law is reported, many French extradition cases are never reproduced in any French case reporter. The purpose of this appendix is to provide an English speaking audience with the substance of opinions which are otherwise nearly impossible to obtain. The editors hope that this collection will aid comparative research and contribute to an informed debate on the political offense exception.

The Extraterritorial Effect Of Federal Criminal Statutes: Offenses Directed At Members Of Congress, Mark Petersen

UC Law SF International Law Review

In a world of increased tension and open hostility toward the United States and its policies, an attack or assault on a member of Congress traveling abroad is not inconceivable. Section 351 of the United States Criminal Code prescribes penalties for offenses directed at members of Congress including assault, killing, kidnapping, and attempted conspiracies. Section 351, however, is silent as to a court's reach in asserting subject matter jurisdiction. This Note addresses the issue of whether the United States federal courts could obtain jurisdiction over a foreign group or individual who attacked or killed a Congressperson in a foreign country. …

The Ocean Dumping Deadline: Easing The Mandate Millstone, Julian H. Spirer

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article examines the development the "mandate millstone," the inflexible federal rules and regulations directed at state and local governments in the environmental arena. It surveys how the mandate millstone has burdened or threatened to burden the ocean dumping of sewage sludge by New York City. The Article reviews the method by which the city has traditionally disposed of its sewage sludge in the ocean waters surrounding the city, and how the city's disposal practices would have been altered radically had the city been forced to implement a plan, pursuant to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, to end …

Chemical And Biological Warfare: Focus On Asia, Lee D. Klein

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Note concludes that (1) the Geneva Protocol of 1925 and the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972 provide conventional restraints upon the use of lethal or seriously injurious CBWs; (2) modern treaties, customs, judicial decisions, and writings form a public international law norm that imposes a legal restraint limiting the use of lethal or seriously injurious CBWs and binding all states regardless of their acceptance of conventional prohibitions; and (3) the law of war today is characterized more accurately as the "law of armed conflict," because it must of necessity apply to conflicts that are not purely interstate. Before discussing …

A Practitioner's Introduction To Saudi Arabian Law, Gali Hagel

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

There is no Saudi legal code. Although the literature on the Islamic faith is extensive, the only Saudi laws available in the English language are the corporate, tax, and labor regulations. This Note brings together the applicable principles and laws to provide a broad overview of the Saudi legal system: it discusses the way in which Islamic law has evolved in Saudi Arabia, analyzes the major Saudi corporate regulations, and, as an introductory research tool, directs the practitioner to more detailed resources. This Note also gives practical advice to attorneys representing clients doing business in Saudi Arabia, adding needed dimension …

Unemployment Compensation Benefits: Part Of A Balanced Package Of Relief For Sexual Harassment Victims, Meri Arnett-Kremian

University of Richmond Law Review

Although sexual harrassment was once a topic discussed so rarely as to be almost taboo, it now is subject to much analysis. Books and articles in magazines and professional journals have helped define the parameters of the problem, treating it both as a sociological phenomenon and as a legal issue. Articles discussing the legal aspects of sexual harassment tend to concentrate exclusively on the arsenal of litigation weapons available to a potential plaintiff, despite the fact that the vast majority of women who experience harassment will choose not to sue, and those who do will often wait years before they …

The Political Offense Exception As Applied In French Cases Dealing With The Extradition Of Terrorists, Thomas E. Carbonneau

Faculty Scholarship

There is no doubt that terrorism is a dangerous, costly and complex problem. Commentators have speculated extensively about its ideological character and other analysts have studied its sociological roots and psychological origins. Despite all this attention, there is a lack of consensus in the international community about whether terrorism is no more than a sensational form of criminality or a legitimate mode of political expression.

This article does not attempt to deal with all of the multifarious aspects of contemporary terrorism; its ambition is much more modest in scope, centering upon traditional legal mechanisms and doctrines that can be adapted …

In Vitro Fertilization And Embryo Transfer: Medicolegal Aspects Of A New Technique To Create A Family, George J. Annas, Sherman Elias

Faculty Scholarship

IVF and ET conjure up a variety of images, from "test tube babies" to Steven Spielberg's extraterrestrial. Indeed, it is sometimes difficult to separate science fiction from scientific reality. Nonetheless, the extracorporeal fertilization of a human egg followed by transfer to a human uterus and birth of a child, has been repeated in a number of countries around the world. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) are now reality.' Most of us applauded this new technology along with the parents of the resulting children. These infertile couples were able, with the help of IVF, to have their own …

Defensive Responses To Tender Offers And The Williams Act's Prohibition Against Manipulation, Elliott J. Weiss

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Article discusses whether arrangements designed to ensure the success of a favored bidder or simply to defeat an unwanted tender offer are "manipulative acts or practices" barred by section 14(e).' It argues that the critical issue is whether an arrangement significantly obstructs the operation of a fair auction market for a target company's shares. The Article maintains that recent Supreme Court decisions interpreting section 14(e) and other antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws provide substantial support for this approach to interpreting section 14(e). The Article first discusses the definition of section 14(e) manipulation. The recent Marathon decision provides …

Employer Withdrawal From Multiemployer Bargaining--Charles D. Bonanno Linen Service V. Nlrb, Franklin G. Snyder

Faculty Scholarship

Large numbers of employers in this country, particularly small businesses, are members of multiemployer bargaining units. Historically, employers and unions have been able to withdraw from those units when the bargaining process has reached a stalemate. A recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, however, has made it more difficult for employers to withdraw from multiemployer units even in the face of a prolonged bargaining impasse. The decision, which settles a long-standing dispute between the National Labor Relations Board (Board) and several circuit courts of appeals, is a boon to labor unions, for it prohibits employer withdrawal in the …
