Arms Transfers By The United States: Merchant Of Death Or Arsenal Of Democracy, Archibald S. Alexander
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
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 …
Toward A Consultative Relationship Between The United Nations And Non-Governmental Organizations?, Michael M. Gunter
Toward A Consultative Relationship Between The United Nations And Non-Governmental Organizations?, Michael M. Gunter
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
What do consultative relationships entail? What has been the impact on United Nations policies? What has gone wrong? Why has the consultative relationship failed to live up to expectations? What are the chances for ameliorating the present malaise and moving towards a new, reinvigorated consultative relationship? This article will address these questions now being raised in the current discussions about revitalizing ECOSOC.
Recent Development--Panama Canal Treaties, David M. Himmelreich
Recent Development--Panama Canal Treaties, David M. Himmelreich
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Given its strategic interest in the Canal, it might well be asked why the United States would sign a Treaty which does not give an unambiguous right of intervention. Under the Treaty, the United States has at best only a weak legal justification for intervention, which will be useful in domestic politics should the popular opposition to "giving the Canal away" become critical, but which will be much less convincing elsewhere. World opinion is suspicious of the reliance of any great power on intervention, regardless of the legal rationale. The justification will be least persuasive in Latin America where there …

Dual Claim And The Exhaustion Of Local Remedies Rule In International Law, B. O. Iluyomade
Dual Claim And The Exhaustion Of Local Remedies Rule In International Law, B. O. Iluyomade
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Notwithstanding the anomaly of the procedural requirement that local remedies available in the respondent state must be exhausted before there can be diplomatic intervention on behalf of a national, there can be no doubt that the rule serves some very useful purposes and has become generally accepted. This is demonstrated by the significant role the rule now plays in the resolution of issues before the European Commission of Human Rights. Because the rule is often discussed in the context of a complaint of denial of justice, considerable difficulties may be encountered in determining when the rule should be complied with. …
Arms Sales And The Major Western Powers, Arthur Cyr
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 …

The Legal Status Of Foreign Investments In The East African Common Market, T. O. Elias -- Reviewer
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
One noticeable development in the field of International Economic Law during the last decade since the United Nations ushered in the new era of an economic world order has been the growing literature on the law of investments, especially in respect to developing economies. International Economic Law itself is a recent specialist off-shoot of general public international law, having been nurtured and popularized as a subject of separate university discipline in its own right within the last 30 years or so by Schwarzenberger among others. Notable, generally, among the specialized studies on international investments law are Worthley's Expropriation in Public …
