International Law-Effect Of War On Bilateral Treaties-Comparative Study, J. G. Castel

Michigan Law Review

The effect of war upon existing bilateral treaties of belligerents is one of the unsettled problems of international law. The problem is to determine whether a bilateral treaty (between nations at peace) which does not provide for the eventuality of war, will be suspended or annulled by a subsequent war between them. The idea that war is a complete destruction of the international intercourse which was represented by the treaty logically would lead to the conclusion that the treaty ends ipso facto when war comes. But this is too hasty a conclusion; international practice proves that some treaties are only …

International Law-Treaty Provisions Dealing With The Status Of Pre-War Bilateral Treaties, Stanley T. Lesser S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

"The effect of war upon the existing treaties of belligerents is one of the unsettled problems of the law." At one time, writers on international law felt that war, ipso facto, abrogated all bilateral treaties between the combatants, with the exception of those treaties especially designed to regulate the conduct of hostilities. The modern trend is to a more flexible approach; the courts attempt to discern the intention of the parties at the time they concluded the treaty or deal with the problem pragmatically, preserving or annulling the treaties as the necessities of war exact. Disagreement persists, however, and it …

An International Bill Of Rights For Prisoners Of War, John Mcginness

Cleveland State Law Review

On August 12, 1949 plenipotentiaries of sixty-one nations of the world, including the United States and the Soviets, concluded a Convention at Geneva which revised the Geneva Convention of July 27, 1929 relative to the treatment of prisoners of war. Many of these revisions are based upon the experiences of World War II. Although neither the United States nor the Soviets have ratified this Convention, the United States Forces in Korea have been, and are, under instructions to observe their provisions at all times. This Convention appears to be a positive step forward in the clarification of international law as …

International Law-Jurisdiction Of International Court Of Justice, Duncan Noble S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

On May 1, 1951, Iranian legislation enacting the so-called nationalization of the oil industry in Iran received the imperial assent. Thus was set in motion the increasingly bitter course of events whereby Iran has practically cut herself off from the western world. A not insignificant element in these events is the abortive effort of the British to deal with the problem through the International Court of Justice. On July 5, 1951, the United Kingdom obtained an order from the Court designed to maintain the status quo pending further judicial proceedings. In the subsequent course of these proceedings the U .K. …

International Law-Trusteeship Compared With Mandate, Donald S. Leeper S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The mandate system represented an attempt to cope with the problem of nonself-governing territories as an international responsibility and, for the most part, was an advancement over former methods of treatment. The system was not perfect and its operation pointed up a number of its defects. The framers of the United Nations Charter formulated the trusteeship system to take the place of the mandate system, correcting its defects and adding certain innovations. The purpose of this comment is to present a brief comparison of the two systems and to consider a few of the major problems presented.

International Law-Aliens-Confiscation Of Alien Enemy Property-Alien Enemy Character Of Shinto Shrine In Hawaii, Jean Engstrom S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a Hawaiian corporation, brought suit under section 9 of the Trading with the Enemy Act for the return of real and personal property vested in 1948 under authority of section S(b). Evidence was introduced to show that plaintiff's members were largely alien Japanese; that, prior to December 7, 1941, plaintiff operated what purported to be a Shinto shrine in Honolulu where three Japanese gods were worshiped; that the shrine looked like a Shinto shrine and was in some respects operated like one. It was further shown that plaintiff's members had no real understanding of the tenets of Shintoism as …

International Law-Immunity Of Employee Of United Nations Delegation From In Rem Proceedings In Municipal Courts, Allan Neef

Michigan Law Review

A landlord's summary proceeding for recovery of possession was brought in a New York municipal court against a secretary of the Argentine delegation to the United Nations. The defendant appeared specially and moved to vacate the service of the precept, claiming immunity from suit by virtue of the grant of diplomatic privileges and immunities to official employees of member delegations under Article V of the Headquarters Agreement between the United States and the United Nations. Held, motion denied. Realty not directly pertaining to a delegation's employee's official position is not removed from the jurisdiction of the local courts by …

Soviet Concepts Of International Law And Criminal Procedure At The International Conference On Military Trials, London, 1945, Solon Cleanthes Ivrakis

The study of international criminal law has received a new impetus with the establishment of the International Law Commission of the United Nations (1947). Students of international and of comparative law have noted with interest that one of the tasks of this Commission will be the formulation of principles of international law recognized in the Charter of the International Military Tribunal which was adopted by the International Conference on Military Trials, held in London in the summer of 1945.

Extraterritorial Effects Of Confiscations And Expropriations, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenvelden

Michigan Law Review

The study of the problem of extraterritorial effects of confiscations and expropriations from the point of view of Comparative Law has special practical importance. There are hardly any codified rules applicable to foreign confiscations and expropriations, either in statutory law countries or in common law countries. Hence, decisions have to be based largely on generally accepted rules of public and private international law. Such general acceptance can only be proved by a comparative analysis of foreign as well as of domestic precedents.

Petitioner, an American citizen living in Germany, voted in the January 27, 1946 election of local officials in Rodach, Germany, American Zone of Occupation, held under the direction and with the approval of the Office of Military Government for Bavaria.

Held, petitioner had not lost her citizenship. The Rodach election was held in "territory then ruled and governed by the United States and …
