Establishing Minimum Compensation Criteria For Use In Expropriation Disputes, Roger C. Wesley
Establishing Minimum Compensation Criteria For Use In Expropriation Disputes, Roger C. Wesley
Vanderbilt Law Review
The basic criteria suggested in this article are not intended to be exclusive determinative factors, and in most cases, mitigative considerations will continue to play a dominant role. It is hoped, however, that the present analysis will spur the organized initiation of additional proposals on standards and criteria, not only by executive departments and parliamentary chambers, but also by organized bar groups and other representatives of the private sector. The cumulative effect of new proposals hopefully will be the positive enlargement of rule of law considerations in expropriation disputes by a draft convention on investment protection, which to date has …
The Origins Of Ambivalence In Transnational Norms, Frederick O. Bonkovsky
The Origins Of Ambivalence In Transnational Norms, Frederick O. Bonkovsky
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Grotius' magnum opus of 1625, "De Jure Belli ac Pacis", represented the culmination and summary of Western international norms through the 17th century. But Grotius' explicit statement of international mores in legalized terms marked a departure from medieval thought. By secularizing natural law and, more importantly, by recognizing the new international system of the sovereign nation-states, Grotius made major alterations in transnational theory, thus earning the sobriquet, "father of international law."

Espionage In Transnational Law, Leslie S. Edmondson
Espionage In Transnational Law, Leslie S. Edmondson
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Traditionally, spies have been defined as "secret agents of a State sent abroad for the purpose of obtaining clandestinely information in regard to military or political secrets." Older authorities have stated emphatically that the gravamen of espionage is the employment of disguise or false pretense. Such deception has been the justification for visiting the severest of penalties upon the captured spy. Curiously, however, the employment of spies has not been considered reprehensible conduct.
