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

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 Sabbatino Case And The Sabbatino Amendment: Comedy--Or Tragedy--Of Errors, William H. Reeves

Vanderbilt Law Review

The issues and decisions in the Sabbatino litigation and the significant concepts of the Sabbatino legislation are here reviewed and considered in five parts. Part I discusses the mistaken beliefs of the Congress as to the reasons for proposing and enacting the Sabbatino Amendment. Part II then examines the relations between Cuba and the United States, explaining how Cuba's insult made possible the judicial errors in the Sabbatino decisions, which were reversed by the Supreme Court, and also prompted the subsequent Sabbatino legislation. In Part III, proof will be given of congressional misinterpretations of foreign law and foreign court decisions …

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.

Legal Aspects Of The French Nuclear Tests, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

Even at the level of scholarly or diplomatic argumentation it is important to inquire into the competing interests and legal factors involved in the atmospheric tests. This is true not only because differing political expectations or even measures might depend on the consensus as to the legality or illegality of the French tests, but also because the precedential value of the tests will be of greater or less force depending upon whether there is agreement at the time of the tests that France was or was not acting within her international legal rights.

Warsaw Convention: Treaty Under Pressure, Jay Levine

Cleveland State Law Review

The major United States and foreign airlines have agreed to absolute liability for provable damages up to $75,000 for injury or death of passengers on Warsaw Convention flights to, from, or stopping in, the United States. For the vast majority of Americans on international flights, the Agreement disposes of the Convention's liability limit of $8,300.3 And the Lisi opinion of the Second Circuit may make the Convention a dead letter for accidents occurring before the Agreement.

Mao And Mediation: Politics And Dispute Resolution In Communist China, Stanley B. Lubman

Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies

We lack much essential knowledge, not only about Chinese Communist legal institutions, but about Chinese society generally – how it is organized, how power is distributed and wielded, and the nature of even the most ordinary relationships. Such ignorance is dangerous, especially when China and the United States, and their perceptions of each other, remain tragically far apart. An analysis of China's institutions for resolving disputes can teach much about its dominant values and authority relationships.

This Article examines the resolution of disputes between individuals in China, relying on documentary sources and on interviews conducted by the author in Mandarin …

The End Of Empire, Fred D. Schneider

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Within the space of a generation, the British Empire has disintegrated in a way that appears extraordinary, even in retrospect. "How marvelous it all is," Lord Rosebery exclaimed at the end of the nineteenth century. If marvelous in its growth, the Empire has been no less significant in the manner of its passing.

The decline of great empires exerts a peculiar fascination over the mind of the historian; indeed, more has been written about the fall of Rome than about the death of any other political entity. Diverse and contradictory theories are advanced to explain a complex historical phenomenon, and …

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 …

Organizations For The International Lawyer-- A Brief Survey, Elliott E. Cheatham

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The great rise in interest in international law has a firm basis in the facts of modern life. Washington and New York are now closer to Paris and Moscow in travel time, not to speak of missile delivery time, than adjoining county seats were when Washington warned against entangling alliances. Travel time and ease rather than miles or kilometers are the measure of near and far. The shrinkage of space in time has increased enormously the importance of sound relations among peoples of the world. Science and technology are opening up new areas for human activities, particularly competition in outer …

Lunar Reflections -- On The Jessup Cup, M. Elizabeth Culbreth

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

A hit from some years ago -- "The moon belongs to every-one" -- came to have special significance for a group of Vanderbilt Law students during the spring of 1967. For the members of the Vanderbilt International Moot Court Team under the guidance of their faculty advisor, Professor Harold Maier, researching, understanding and articulating the international legal arguments on both sides of that musical thesis became the sport of the day. Happily, their endeavors were rewarded on April 29, when Vanderbilt won the National Championship by defeating the team from Harvard Law School in the final round of the fifth …
