Liability For Transnational Pollution Caused By Offshore Oil Rig Blowouts, William N. Hancock, Robert M. Stone Jan 1982

Liability For Transnational Pollution Caused By Offshore Oil Rig Blowouts, William N. Hancock, Robert M. Stone

UC Law SF International Law Review

With man's quest for fossil fuels reaching into the depths of the ocean, the possibility of accidents occurring with transnational results increases. The 1979-1980 Bay of Campeche oil spill provides a graphic example of the pollution that can occur in trying to extract fossil fuels from the sea. The authors examine the basis for liability of a polluting state in international law and some of the difficulties in enforcement.

In Anticipation Of Subterrestrial Delimitation, D. S. Avery Jan 1982

In Anticipation Of Subterrestrial Delimitation, D. S. Avery

UC Law SF International Law Review

The interior of the earth has scarcely been touched upon in jurisprudence. Although the principle of dominion under land by the owner of surface property has been in existence since the time of Roman law, the need to address the question of who owns inner-earth is long overdue. This Article attempts to answer that question by examining modem delimitation theories that have been applied to the oceans and the atmosphere within the context of the physical interior of the earth. The author suggests the use of the Mohorovicic discontinuity for inner-earth delimitation and invites further inquiry from scholars, scientists, and …

Application Of Customary International Law By U.S. Domestic Tribunals, Lori Fisler Damrosch Jan 1982

Application Of Customary International Law By U.S. Domestic Tribunals, Lori Fisler Damrosch

Faculty Scholarship

In recent years there has been a significant expansion of the number and kinds of cases in U.S. courts raising issues of customary international law. U.S. courts are increasingly asked to enforce international norms of behavior against foreign governments, state and local governments, and indeed the U.S. Government itself. To a greater and greater extent the courts themselves have become actors on the international scene: in the view of one party to a lawsuit, judicial or quasi-judicial acts may threaten to violate international law, while in the view of another party those same sorts of acts can contribute affirmatively to …

The Foreign Affairs Power: The Dames & (And) Moore Case, David F. Forte Jan 1982

The Foreign Affairs Power: The Dames & (And) Moore Case, David F. Forte

Cleveland State Law Review

In 1981, the Supreme Court decided Dames & Moore v. Regan. According to the modest view of the majority opinion, the Dames & Moore case is not even a brick, with or without straw. As Justice Rehnquist stated for the Court: "We attempt to lay down no general 'guide-lines'...and attempt to confine the opinion only to the very questions necessary to the decision of the case." A second look, however, reveals that in Dames & Moore, the Supreme Court did more than resolve some of the sticky legalities that were part of a serious foreign policy crisis. It also moved …

Conditioning U.S. Security Assistance On Human Rights Practices, Stephen B. Cohen Jan 1982

Conditioning U.S. Security Assistance On Human Rights Practices, Stephen B. Cohen

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In the United States, with its government of separated powers and functions, it is the executive branch, and in particular the Department of State, that bears responsibility for implementing legislation on foreign relations. The success of implementation will depend on political decisions, involving competing national interests, as well as on institutional and personal considerations of I he officials concerned. Inevitably, there is a gap between legislation and execution, especially when the Executive is not wholly sympathetic to the law. The gap may even devour legislated policies as the Executive refuses "to take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed," and …
