U.N. General Assembly Meetings Held Outside New York, Yehuda Z. Blum
U.N. General Assembly Meetings Held Outside New York, Yehuda Z. Blum
Michigan Journal of International Law
The decision taken by the United Nations General Assembly on December 2, 1988 "to consider the question of Palestine… in plenary, at the United Nations Office at Geneva during the period from December 13-15, 1988" has raised some questions regarding the procedural requirements that have to be fulfilled for General Assembly meetings to be held away from U.N. Headquarters in New York. For a better understanding of the issues involved, it would seem appropriate to summarize briefly the background and developments that led to the General Assembly's decision.

Recollections Of Professor Bishop As A Teacher Of Teachers Of Transnational Law, Covey T. Oliver
Michigan Journal of International Law
It will be interesting to me to see, should this modest tribute survive editing, whether others writing in this Symposium have also chosen to single out Bill Bishop's influence on a post-World War II generation of teachers of international public law, conflict of laws, comparative public law, and admiralty: men and women who have in considerable part been led, aided, or influenced by him into one or several aspects of the global normative science, named "transnational law" by one of his own great teachers (and mine), Philip C. Jessup.' If others have also sounded this theme, reiteration of it can …

United States V. Palestine Liberation Organization: Continued Confusion In Congressional Intent And The Hierarchy Of Norms, Andrew R. Horne
United States V. Palestine Liberation Organization: Continued Confusion In Congressional Intent And The Hierarchy Of Norms, Andrew R. Horne
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Note concludes that while the court's rationale is disingenuous and misleading, the final decision was an appropriate reaffirmation of the importance which American jurisprudence places on international obligations. In Part One, this Note discusses whether the dispute resolution provisions of the Headquarters Agreement precluded the district court's jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter of this case. Part Two examines the constitutional hierarchy of the ATA and the Headquarters Agreement to determine which should govern this dispute. If the court had concluded that it lacked jurisdiction, the case would have been dismissed from the U.S. court system, leaving the …

The United States, The United Nations, And Micronesia: Questions Of Procedure, Substance, And Faith, Harry G. Prince
Michigan Journal of International Law
This study first considers the procedural requirements for proper termination and concludes that Security Council approval is required. Second, this writing identifies the major issues that should be considered if the proposed termination of the Trusteeship Agreement for Micronesia is subjected to Security Council review. Two basic concerns should be the propriety of the division of the Trust Territory into four separate entities and the legitimacy of the agreements between the new governments and the United States for continuing relations as either commonwealth or freely associated states. The history of and practice under the trusteeship system indicate that the particular …
