Japan And International Conventions Relating To North Pacific Fisheries, Shigeru Oda Oct 1967

Japan And International Conventions Relating To North Pacific Fisheries, Shigeru Oda

Washington Law Review

This paper will begin with a treatment of the North Pacific Fisheries Convention of 1952. After exploring this treaty and the abstention formula embodied in it, a study of the Northwest Pacific Fisheries Convention of 1956 and the formula incorporated therein will be undertaken. After studying the 1952 and 1956 Conventions, the paper will proceed to examine the recent fisheries agreement of 1965 between Japan and the Republic of Korea. This last agreement contains an idea of equal sharing of high seas fish resources among the nations concerned.


New Uses Of International Law In The North Pacific, Douglas M. Johnston Oct 1967

New Uses Of International Law In The North Pacific, Douglas M. Johnston

Washington Law Review

Since all marine fisheries are either shared or shareable and constitute a renewable resource, broad policy problems of fishery use, both by "have" and "have not" fishing states, always have an international aspect and involve considerations of both development and conservation. In few areas of international law is the challenge to our reason and imagination so acute; and seldom do jurists so obviously require the services of the natural sciences. Yet fishery science, now engaging a small but growing number of specialists from biology and related disciplines, is still unable to provide an adequate factual basis for the sophisticated articulation …

Aspects Of Internal Decision-Making Processes In Intergovernmental Fishery Commissions, William T. Burke Oct 1967

Aspects Of Internal Decision-Making Processes In Intergovernmental Fishery Commissions, William T. Burke

Washington Law Review

The purpose of this paper is to examine certain aspects of the decision-making processes of intergovernmental institutions established for regulating interactions in the exploitation of ocean fisheries. The aspects selected are those denominated as internal constitutional arrangements; embracing, more specifically, the grant of capacity to the group, membership provisions, structure, objectives, and distribution of certain authority functions within the commissions. Very little attention is devoted to the external decision-making process involving the fishery commissions with other participants, including members and other public or private entities which a more comprehensive study would embrace. Fortunately, in light of anticipated developments in world …


Financial Peacekeeping From Imf And Ibrd Income, Samuel A. Bletcher Jun 1967

Financial Peacekeeping From Imf And Ibrd Income, Samuel A. Bletcher

Washington Law Review

Professor Bleicher asserts that the present method of financing United Nations peacekeeping operations through annual contributions by Members is unsatisfactory. Not only can it cause a financial crisis when certain Members refuse to pay, but also it may impair the United Nations peacekeeping function. After exploring several alternatives for providing stable income for peacekeeping operations, Professor Bleicher concludes that portions of the substantial net income of the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for Reconstruction and Development should be transferred to a United Nations peacekeeping fund. He then analyzes the various methods of achieving the transfers and suggests that the …


Reflections On Apartheid After The South West Africa Cases, Julius Stone Jun 1967

Reflections On Apartheid After The South West Africa Cases, Julius Stone

Washington Law Review

South Africa was given the mandate over South West Africa by the Covenant of the League of Nations. While individual members of the League had no role in the administrative process of the mandate, it contained provisions protecting the interests of third party States, and article 7 of the mandate gave jurisdiction to the International Court of Justice over "disputes" between any member of the League and the mandatory power in relation to the mandate. The mandate and its obligations were continued after the formation of the United Nations but frequent disputes in that body left doubt upon the U.N.'s …

The Canada-United States Controversy Over The Columbia River, Ralph W. Johnson Aug 1966

The Canada-United States Controversy Over The Columbia River, Ralph W. Johnson

Washington Law Review

In a comprehensive study of the recent dispute between Canada and the United States over the Columbia River, Professor Johnson traces its history through the birth of the Harmon doctrine in 1898, the signing of the Boundary Waters Treaty in 1909, and the first Canadian claim to downstream benefits in the early 1950's. Against this background, he analyzes the negotiations and events—particularly the Canadian proposals to divert the Columbia into the Fraser, and to develop the Peace River instead of the Columbia—that culminated in the Columbia River Treaty in 1961. Before Canadian ratification of the Treaty, however, additional problems presented …


Some Aspects Of The Foreign Relations Power Of The European Economic Communities, Albert H. Garretson Jun 1966

Some Aspects Of The Foreign Relations Power Of The European Economic Communities, Albert H. Garretson

Washington Law Review

The subject of this article is a substantial one, bursting with theoretical and practical problems, but it is of course much narrower than the survey of the Communities in the spring of 1966 which Mr. Thompson presented to the conference. That survey was made in the light of the six months crisis created by the absence of the French from the work of the institutions of the Economic Community. The resistance of the French to certain central aspects of the development of the Community institutions, particularly to what they described as the developing "style" of the Commission, was set out …


The Common Market: A New Legal Order, Dennis Thompson Jun 1966

The Common Market: A New Legal Order, Dennis Thompson

Washington Law Review

This term, the "new legal order," was first used by the Court of Justice in the First Tariff Commission case; I use the expression in its widest possible sense. This new legal order which springs from the Treaty of Rome, and which brings the citizens of the Community within the protection of the Treaty, also applies to the relations between the member states. The constitutional position of the member countries has been radically altered by the terms of the Treaty, and their relationship is no longer one which exists between fully sovereign countries. They have all—and equally—subscribed to build the …


Comments On The Common Market, Robert A. Anthony Jun 1966

Comments On The Common Market, Robert A. Anthony

Washington Law Review

We have before us a subject that is more economic than legal. The important questions about that subject are more political than legal. Into such realms I venture only most warily. I find interesting Dennis Thompson's portrayal of the Common Market as "the only body in Europe that really matters." His characterization is as apt as it is pithy and, indeed, pertinent for his countrymen's consideration at this moment of economic and electoral decision. And it seems to me that we should ask: why is the Economic Community the only body that "matters"? It matters, I think, because it is …


Common Market In Process: The Grundig Case And The Interplay Between National Law And Treaty Law, Lawrence F. Ebb Jun 1966

Common Market In Process: The Grundig Case And The Interplay Between National Law And Treaty Law, Lawrence F. Ebb

Washington Law Review

The delicate problems of the evolving relationship between supranational, European Economic Community Treaty law and the national law of the member countries are dramatically illustrated by the decisions of national courts and the Commission of the European Economic Community in the series of cases dealing with the legitimacy of sole distributorships coterminous with national boundaries of the member countries. The operational context of the actual cases in this field not only constitutes a more dramatic setting than the abstract study of the bare provisions of the Treaty of Rome and its implementing regulations; it also effectively brings to light a …


The Procedure Before The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities, Peter E. Herzog Jun 1966

The Procedure Before The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities, Peter E. Herzog

Washington Law Review

The Court of Justice of the European Communities has inspired much legal writing, including many books and articles in English. Particular attention has been paid to its jurisdiction and general organization, much less to its procedure. But Professor Sereni has pointed out that differences in the domestic procedural laws of states appearing before an international court may cause difficulties in the work of the international tribunal itself. It therefore may be of interest to review briefly some aspects of the procedure of a court which is perhaps not an international tribunal in the strict sense of the word, but in …


Comments On Papers Delivered By Professor Herzog And Mr. Ebb, Daniel A. Soberman Jun 1966

Comments On Papers Delivered By Professor Herzog And Mr. Ebb, Daniel A. Soberman

Washington Law Review

It is often said that the European Communities are unique, that they cannot be fruitfully compared to other institutions, whether international or federal. Certainly, to a common law lawyer they appear to be uniquely civil law creations; their solutions to various problems appear novel to him. Despite differences in approach much is to be learned by comparing or at least contrasting the European approach with that of the common law. Professor Herzog has well illustrated some of the differences in his excellent paper on the Court of Justice.

Introduction [To The Common Market: A Symposium], Richard B. Lillich

Washington Law Review

The symposium contains two parts. In the general part, Dennis Thompson, Esq., Assistant Director of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law and Editor of the Common Market Law Review, discusses in depth the history, operation and future of The Common Market: A New Legal Order. Professor Albert H. Garretson, a colleague of two Associate Reporters of the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Foreign Relations Law of the United States, uses its framework to examine The Foreign Relations Law of the Common Market. Comments on these papers are by Professor Robert A. Anthony, Director of International Legal Studies …


Some Diplomatic Problems Of Codification Of The Law Of Treaties, Shabtai Rosenne Apr 1966

Some Diplomatic Problems Of Codification Of The Law Of Treaties, Shabtai Rosenne

Washington Law Review

The International Law Conmission is presently engaged in a project to codify the Law of Treaties. A project of this magnitude is, of course, replete with imany substantive legal problems. The author, while fully cognizant of the ramifications of the legal issues presented by the codification, takes as his central topic some of the less obvious but, perhaps ultiviately more critical problems, related to the codification project. After defining the scope of the project and tracing the remote and recent history of the codification of treaty law, the author discusses the structural form which the restatement of treaty law has …

The Immediate Tasks Of International Law And Organization [Part 1], Linden A. Mander Jan 1946

The Immediate Tasks Of International Law And Organization [Part 1], Linden A. Mander

Washington Law Review

Within recent years the legal profession has shown remarkable activity in the study of international relations. At Bar Association meetings, resolutions have been adopted; members of the bench and bar have associated themselves with important movements and pronouncements; and international organizations comprising lawyers and judges have borne witness to the widening sphere of interest and action on the part of those to whom law and order make a peculiarly immediate appeal in view of their training and professional activity. The few examples which will be given may serve as justification for an attempt to summarize a number of important developments …


Development Of International Law In The Western Hemisphere, Karl M. Rodman Nov 1944

Development Of International Law In The Western Hemisphere, Karl M. Rodman

Washington Law Review

It is almost axiomatic to say that any development of International Law in the Western Hemisphere must come as a development of the Monroe Doctrine—that all-elastic and heretofore unilateral policy of the United States of America towards Central and South America. This is because no major development of International Law is possible in the Western Hemisphere without the agreement or even leadership of the most powerful nation of that hemisphere. If the United States is to, lead, and past and present movements indicate this fact beyond question, its leadership has always been and is now being expressed in terms of …
