An International Criminal Code – Now?, L. C. Green Oct 1976

An International Criminal Code – Now?, L. C. Green

Dalhousie Law Journal

It has been suggested that the time may now be right to prepare a codification of international criminal law, either with or without a draft statute for an international criminal court. In fact, the Foundation for the Establishment of an International Criminal Court held its third Conference to this end in Bangladesh in December 1974. It must not, however, be overlooked that recent attempts by the International Civil Aviation Organization and the United Nations to establish a working enforcement procedure to deal with aerial hijacking and other forms of terrorism failed, largely because of opposition from the Arab countries and …

Provincial International Status Revisited, Thomas A. Levy May 1976

Provincial International Status Revisited, Thomas A. Levy

Dalhousie Law Journal

The question as to whether the Canadian provinces possess international status caused much ink to flow in Canadian legal discourse from 1965 to 19681. Although the practical problems incident to an alleged provincial international personality remain with us in the mid 1970's, the lawyers have maintained a low profile from 1968 to 1971. In 1971 Anne-Marie Jacomy-Millette's doctoral dissertation was published as L'introduction et l'application des trait~s internationaux au Canada.2 In 1973 Ivan Bernier's magisterial doctoral thesis was published under the title International Legal Aspects of Federalism.3 Although no new ground was broken, Professor Bernier stated the existing comparative and …
