Towards A European Constitution Of The Firm: Problems And Perspectives, Thomas E. Abeltshauser

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article will discuss in particular the proposed EEC directive on the harmonization of corporate structures as well as the proposed regulation of the Societas Europea. Initially, these proposals were strongly oriented toward German law. As such, a corporation had to have a managing board as well as a so-called supervisory board and a general meeting of stockholders. Since the EEC Commission published the so-called "Green Paper," which contains a comparative analysis of national legal systems requirements for the structure of corporations and provisions for co-determination rights for employees at the board level, the new proposals concerning the constitution of …

Child Welfare Legislation In India: Will Indian Children Benefit From The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child, Shahana Dasgupta

Michigan Journal of International Law

The subject of children's rights has been dealt with both directly and indirectly in a number of international legal instruments over the years. Initially, there were differences concerning the need for a Convention over and above the already existing legislation. Some countries felt that children should not be treated as a category set apart from other human beings and thereby be the object of a separate legal document. On the other hand, countries in favor of a Convention wanted to create a single legal instrument which would take into account children's requirements on a universal scale. They also saw the …

Customary International Law: Its Nature, Sources And Status As Law Of The United States, Jordan J. Paust

Michigan Journal of International Law

Customary international law is one of the primary components of law in the international legal process, a dynamic process profoundly interconnected with our own domestic legal processes for at least the last 250 years. In our history, customary international law has also been received as part of the "law of nations," a phrase used interchangeably by our courts with the phrase "international law" from the dawn of the United States. What, more particularly, has been the perceived nature of customary international law in the United States? Despite much theoretical discussion (usually without adequate attention to actual trends in judicial decision), …

Legal Remedies And The United Nations' À La Carte Problem, Jose E. Alvarez

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article reexamines recent U.S. withholdings of its assessed regular contributions to the UN, as well as the premises and assumptions underlying the theory that a UN member may legally and unilaterally withhold payments for ultra vires acts by the organization. The issue is of considerable consequence since, despite recent rhetoric, the number of members financially supporting the UN through timely payments of regular contributions number only about half the membership, payments. These practices undermine the basic doctrine of "collective financial responsibility" and threaten the survival of international organizations. Reexamination is timely since the lessening of ideological divisions at the …

Treaty Interpretation: The Authority Of Interpretive Communities, Ian Johnstone

Michigan Journal of International Law

Part I of this paper sets out a theory of interpretation (drawing on Stanley Fish's idea of interpretive communities) relevant to all interpretive techniques. In Part II, a conception of the purposes and conventions of treaty practice is offered with the aim of shedding light on the interpretive constraints structuring that enterprise. Part III identifies two interpretive communities associated with treaty practice (one narrow, the other broad) and describes their operation in the interpretive process. Special attention is paid to the government legal advisor, who plays a key role within the relevant interpretive communities. Part IV is a case study …

A U.S. Perspective On The Ec Hormones Directive, Holly Hammonds

Michigan Journal of International Law

On December 31, 1985, the European Community ["EC"] adopted the "Council Directive Prohibiting the Use in Livestock Farming of Certain Substances Having a Hormonal Action" ("the Directive"). The directive, originally scheduled to take effect on January 1, 1988, prohibits the use of hormones, natural and synthetic, in livestock production and the sale of meat treated with hormones in the EC market. The United States believes that the directive violates the requirements of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade ("Standards Code" or "Code").

The Italian Constitutional Court And The Relationship Between The Italian Legal System And The European Community, Mart Cartabia

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article will address how it has been possible that the same Court, interpreting the same Constitution and facing the same problems, has come to such contradictory conclusions, and will assess the impact of such conclusions on the institutional relationship between the EC and Italy.

Overview: U.S.-Korea And U.S.-Taiwan Trade Law Issues In Comparative Perspective, Clyde D. Stoltenberg

Michigan Journal of International Law

Since the mid-1950s, the economies of Korea and Taiwan have achieved remarkable results, with annual growth rates of ten percent not unusual in some years. During the past couple of decades, they have relied heavily on export trade, particularly with the United States, to maintain rapid growth rates and continued economic development. In 1988, for example, Korea and Taiwan enjoyed a combined trade surplus with the United States of $21.6 billion on total trade of $68.4 billion.

The Structural Impediments Initiative: An Example Of Bilateral Trade Negotiation, Mitsuo Matsushita

Michigan Journal of International Law

In June 1990, the governments of the United States and Japan concluded the Structural Impediments Initiative ("SII"), a series of bilateral trade negotiations. The SII came about as a result of a large trade imbalance between the two countries in favor of Japan, which, despite many efforts, the United States and Japan had been unable to reduce. It was the U.S. government's perception that the real cause of the trade imbalance was not Japan's protective border measures in the form of tariffs or quantitative restrictions, such as import quotas on agricultural and leather products, but rather the oligopolistic industrial sector …

Planar Graphs And Sparse Graphs From Efficient Motion Planning In The Plane, L Paul Chew

Computer Science Technical Reports

Given a source, a destination, and a number of obstacles in the plane, the Motion Planning Program is to determine the best path to move an object (a robot) from the source to the destination without colliding with any of the obstacles. For us, motion is restricted to the plane, the robot is represented by a point, and the obstacles are represented by a set of polygons with a total of n vertices among all the polygonal obstacles.

Building Voronoi Diagrams For Convex Polygons In Linear Expected Time, L Paul Chew

Computer Science Technical Reports

Let P be a list of points in the plane such that the points of P taken in order form the vertices of a convex polygon. We introduce a simple, linear expected-time algorithm for finding the Voronoi diagram of the points in P. Unlike previous results on expected-time algorithms for Voronoi diagrams, this method does not require any assumptions about the distribution of points. With minor modifications, this method can be used to design fast algorithms for certain problems involving unrestricted sets of points. For example, fast expected-time algorithms can be designed to delete a point from a Voronoi diagram, …

A PERSONAL COMMENT FROM OFFICE A210

The good news is that Spring Break is only three weeks away! The bad news is that pre-enrollment will start after Spring Break! Some minor changes have been made in our process. A Faculty Senate committee is studying both pre-enrollment and enrollment procedures, which may result in recommendations for additional changes. Who knows, we may go full circle and return to gathering in the Student Union Ballroom to complete the entire process in two and one-half days! (Some of us remember the good old days.)
