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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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.

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

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 …

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 …

Safeguarding Atoms-For-Peace: U. K. Bilateral Agreements With Other Nations, Stephen Gorove

West Virginia Law Review

The dawn of the atomic age in the mid-twentieth century has brought with it many challenges and unique responsibilities. One of the most difficult among them has been the prevention of a nuclear holocaust in a world arena dotted with suspicion, jealousy and even outright hostility. Faced with excessive delays if not insuperable obstacles in finding a generally acceptable formula for atomic arms control and recognizing the close interrelationship between the civil and military applications of nuclear energy, the leading nuclear powers of the West wished to insure at least that their atomic assistance intended for the peaceful pursuits of …

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.

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.

The Inductive Approach Revisited, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

A significant theoretical dispute has opened between Schwarzenberger and Jenks over the former's inductive approach to international law. At least three questions may be asked of the debate between Schwarzenberger and Jenks: (1) Is the inductive method inherently limited in its usefulness? (2) Given the use of an inductive approach, is there any room left for creativity in international law? (3) More basically, is Schwarzenberger's self-styled inductive approach really inductive?

Diplomats, Scientists, And Politicians: The United States And The Nuclear Test Ban Negotiations, Harold Karan Jacobson, Eric Stein

Michigan Legal Studies Series

This study began in 1961 as a limited attempt to assess the impact of science and modern technology on the negotiating process and concepts of international organization, using the test ban negotiations then in progress as a case study. When the Moscow Treaty was signed, however, it seemed wise to broaden the focus and to capture as many of the details as we could that might help to explain this first formal arms control agreement between East and West in the nuclear age. Our analysis is clearly not definitive, but hopefully, it will be a useful source, even after all …
