Two Ideas Of International Organization, John H. Barton
Two Ideas Of International Organization, John H. Barton
Michigan Law Review
Political theory has long sought a philosophical basis for such ideas as law, authority, and freedom - but usually within the context of the nationstate. Only rarely has political theory placed the nation-state in an international framework; and, when it has tried, it has often done poorly. Sometimes the political theory becomes purely altruistic and utopian; at other times it works to support the irresponsibility of individual governments and the breakup of international order.
The Crisis In Arms Control, Harold K. Jacobson
The Crisis In Arms Control, Harold K. Jacobson
Michigan Law Review
There is general agreement among observers of contemporary international affairs, and national and international officials from all sides, that there is a serious crisis in arms control. As of January 1984, the Soviet Union had broken off two major arms control negotiations: the Intermediate- Range Nuclear Force Talks (INF) and the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START). Negotiations in the United Nations Conference on Disarmament (CD) on a variety of arms control issues were stalemated. The United States was engaged in a large-scale military build up, and there was no sign that the Soviet Union would abate the extensive military programs …

Compensation And Reward For Saving Life At Sea, Steven F. Friedell
Compensation And Reward For Saving Life At Sea, Steven F. Friedell
Michigan Law Review
This Article explores the life salvage rules under the general maritime law and under the 1912 life salvage statute. Surprisingly, some life salvors had greater rights under the general maritime law than they have under cases construing the statute. This Article suggests that courts have given insufficient attention to the purposes of the Brussels Salvage Convention of 1910, which inspired the 1912 statute, and that American courts should .remain free to recognize all rights that life salvors possessed before the Brussels Convention.
This Article then considers whether American courts should further expand the rights of life salvors by awarding life …

Jus Non Scriptum And The Reliance Principle, Stanley L. Paulson
Michigan Law Review
On the Continent, a general theory of customary law has been developed-what I term the Continental theory; it identifies formation and validity as the central issues in the analysis of custom and customary law. Yet the Continental theory, notwithstanding its longevity and continuing favorable reception among international lawyers, is ridden with problems. In particular, as I argue in the following section, the theory fails for want of a coherent position on the formation issue. In the course of my argument, I suggest a classification of the norms of customary law in terms of a generic category broader in scope than …

Extraterritorial Jurisdiction And Jurisdiction Following Forcible Abduction: A New Israeli Precedent In International Law, Michigan Law Review
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction And Jurisdiction Following Forcible Abduction: A New Israeli Precedent In International Law, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
An Israeli military court recently convicted Faik Bulut, a twenty three-year-old Turkish citizen, of the offense of belonging to Al-Fatah in Lebanon and Syria and sentenced him to seven years in prison. Bulut was captured in February 1972 during an Israeli raid 100 miles into Lebanon. Ten fedayeen, who were captured in Lebanon later in 1972, were scheduled to follow Bulut into court to be tried for the same offense. These are the first cases to be tried under a 1972 amendment to the Israeli Penal Law (Offenses Committed Abroad), which states in part: "The courts in Israel are competent …

Controlling Great Lakes Pollution: A Study In United States-Canadian Environmental Cooperation, Richard B. Bilder
Controlling Great Lakes Pollution: A Study In United States-Canadian Environmental Cooperation, Richard B. Bilder
Michigan Law Review
In this context, a study of the proposed Agreement and, more particularly, of the long history of developing United States-Canadian cooperation that preceded it may be of use. First, this United States-Canadian experience offers guidance for the solution of some of the specific problems that programs for international environmental cooperation may face: questions of framework and approach; institutional organization, function, and authority; determination of objectives; apportionment of burdens; coordination; and implementation. Second, at a time when international discussion has focused principally on global approaches to the solution of environmental problems, it calls attention to the important, if less dramatic, contribution …
International Law--Extraterritoriality--Antitrust Law--Development Of The Defense Of Sovereign Compulsion, Michigan Law Review
International Law--Extraterritoriality--Antitrust Law--Development Of The Defense Of Sovereign Compulsion, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
One of the most troublesome of these conflicts arises when an American business abroad is subjected to an order of a foreign government and the carrying out of that order requires that business to violate the antitrust laws of the United States. The recent case of Interamerican Refining Corporation v. Texaco Maracaibo, Incorporated confronted an American court with this precise issue for the first time. The United States District Court for the District of Delaware responded by saying that the defendants had been compelled to act as they did by the orders of a foreign sovereign government, and it held …

A Divided Country In Foreign Courts-Recent Litigation Involving Germany's Legal Status And The Zeiss Stiftung, Herbert L. Bernstein
A Divided Country In Foreign Courts-Recent Litigation Involving Germany's Legal Status And The Zeiss Stiftung, Herbert L. Bernstein
Michigan Law Review
The partition of countries in the wake of the second World War accounts for two Asian battlefields: Korea and Viet Nam. In Europe, where a dividing line was drawn through Germany, military hostilities have been avoided thus far. Instead, the controversies originating from that line are fought out at the conference table, through public and private media of communication, and in the courthouses.
Human Rights And Non-Intervention In The Inter-American System, José A. Cabranes
Human Rights And Non-Intervention In The Inter-American System, José A. Cabranes
Michigan Law Review
The long silence of the inter-American system is remarkable when contrasted with the continuing efforts of the United Nations to elaborate an International Bill of Rights and the significant accomplishments of the Council of Europe in implementing on a regional basis the principal values enunciated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The OAS' lack of interest, until quite recently, in undertaking a similar international program to protect human rights in the American republics is a function of several very special factors, the most important of which is the traditional Latin American repudiation of intervention, in whatever form and for …
The Maritime Boundaries Of The States, Avrum M. Gross
The Maritime Boundaries Of The States, Avrum M. Gross
Michigan Law Review
It has long been recognized that the boundaries of coastal states encompass certain adjoining maritime areas. The settled existence of those boundaries, however, stands in marked contrast to the confusion which has surrounded their location. The geographic extent of the waters to which state jurisdiction extends has remained largely undetermined.
The recent development of refined methods for extracting minerals from offshore areas has translated questions of state jurisdiction into issues of substantial economic significance. In this regard, an increasing number of disputes have arisen between the states and the federal government, primarily over rights to offshore oil deposits. The …
Extraterritorial Application Of Penal Legislation, B. J. George Jr.
Extraterritorial Application Of Penal Legislation, B. J. George Jr.
Michigan Law Review
One of the most difficult words in the legal lexicon to delineate is the term "jurisdiction"; it is equally difficult to relate this term to the concept of "venue." The term "jurisdiction" is constantly invoked by courts in a variety of contexts, some relating to geography, some to governmental and judicial structure, some to legislative or judicial power, some to persons, and some to procedures. Thus, it is difficult to discern a common thread of meaning or a consistent pattern of application from the cases in which the word appears.
Sabbatino Doctrine Modified In Foreign Assistance Act Of 1964, Michigan Law Review
Sabbatino Doctrine Modified In Foreign Assistance Act Of 1964, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Prior to Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino, one of the United States Supreme Court's most controversial recent decisions touching on matters of international law, it had been held that American courts could not question titles to property acquired by virtue of a public taking decreed by a recognized foreign government and carried out within its territory. This concept of judicial abstention, embodied in the "act of state doctrine," was held applicable in Sabbatino even though it was alleged that the asserted claim to the property stemmed from a confiscation that violated customary international law. This decision led Congress …

Sovereign Immunity Restricted To Noncommercial Activity-Victory Transport Inc. V. Comisaria General De Abastecimientos Y Transportes, Michigan Law Review
Sovereign Immunity Restricted To Noncommercial Activity-Victory Transport Inc. V. Comisaria General De Abastecimientos Y Transportes, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Although frequently criticized, the established doctrine of absolute sovereign immunity has long prevented suits in the courts of the United States against foreign nations without their consent. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, however, in ,em>Victory Transport Inc. v. Comisaria General de Abastecimientos y Transportes, affirmed a district court order compelling arbitration between an American shipowner and the Spanish Ministry of Commerce in accordance with the terms of a contract to carry wheat from Alabama to Spain. Although the Spanish Consul asserted that the Ministry, as a branch of the Spanish government, was immune from suit …
