Unilateral Termination Of The 1954 Mutual Defense Treaty Between The United States And The Republic Of China Pursuant To The President's Foreign Relations Power, Ronald P. Cima

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The act of terminating a treaty may initiate an international embroglio or create international arrangements as effectively as the act of entering into a treaty. Although the ramifications of each act may be significant, recent United States commentary has expressed greater concern over the constitutional efficacy of the methods by which the United States has entered international agreements than over the methods by which the United States has removed itself from them. President Carter's unilateral termination of the 1954 Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of China has raised the issue of which branch ought to …

Book Review: How Nations Behave, Alfred P. Rubin

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

he point of view of How Nations Behave is that of the experienced teacher and wise statesman. Henkin begins by pointing out that all statesmen assume the binding force of some fundamental rules such as: treaties must be obeyed, ambassadors protected, territorial integrity of others respected, and that failure to observe these rules has the most dire consequences. Those consequences rarely involve the use of force, but those who define "law" to include only coercive systems based on a monopoly of force cannot, in their analysis of international relations or in their practical decisions as statesmen, take account of one …

Some Aspects Of Abuse Of Dominant Positions In European Community Antitrust Law, John Temple Lang

Fordham International Law Journal

This article starts by looking at Article 86 of the ECC Treaty governing antitrust violations and the significance of "dominant position" in applying the Rule. The author then explains how in light of United Brands v. Commission, a Court of Justice of the European Communities Court, evidence of dominance may be classified in four categories. Next, the author explains the different types of abuses under Article 86. Finally, the author draws four conclusions. First, the contrast drawn by various authors between the EEC law, which prohibits abuse of a dominant position, and U.S. law, which forbids "monopolisation", is exaggerated and …

Reforming The Laws And Practice Of Diplomatic Immunity, Paul F. Roye

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

As a result of public criticism and increasingly strained relations between diplomatic communities and local communities, Congress recently enacted legislation that dramatically changes United States diplomatic immunity law. This legislation eliminates the complete immunity from criminal and civil law proceedings that was afforded most foreign diplomats and their staffs, and establishes the rules of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations as the measure of diplomatic immunity in the United States. This article will examine the theoretical justification for diplomatic immunity and its application in the United States. The manner in which the recently enacted legislation alters United States diplomatic immunity …

A Constitutional Analysis Of The Prohibition Against Collateral Attack In The Mexican-American Prisoner Exchange Treaty, Ira Robbins

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Introduction: On November 25, 1976, the United States and Mexico concluded a bilateral treaty providing for reciprocal prisoner exchange, so that a national of one party to the agreement could complete his sentence in his home country.' The objectives of the agreement essentially were twofold: first, there was a need to ameliorate relations with Mexico on the delicate matter of the abuse of American citizens confined in Mexican prisons; second, there was a strong desire to alleviate special hardships, such as those respecting living conditions and prospects for rehabilitation, resulting from imprisonment in a foreign country. The Treaty was ratified …

This is a petition for rehearing of a civil action for defamation. A majority of the panel of five Justices of the Supreme Court reinstated the District Court's judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs. The majority of the Court held -

1.      The constitutional right to free speech does not enjoy a status that is superior to the citizen's right to the protection of his good name, rejecting the contrary position taken by the United States Supreme Court in New York Times v. Sullivan. The task is to find the proper accomodation between these interests, when they conflict with …

Gold In The Gulf: A History Of The Rio Grande Valley Shrimp Industry, Thomas M. Blackwell

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

Competition over dwindling fishery stocks has become acute. Shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico is part of that competition. Trawling operations shifted to Brownsville. A dispute between the newly arrived louisiana shrimpers and Texas operators drove many of the newcomers south to the Mexican coastline. This led almost inevitably to a conflict with Mexico. That it was almost inevitable was also due to the fact that the two nations had differing interpretations of territorial limits.

The confrontations themselves were often full of adventure with charges, counter-charges, and sometimes bullets hurled through the air. Because of this nation's own past actions, …
