International Law-Self-Executing Treaties-The Genocide Convention, William C. Gordon S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The crime of genocide is committed when a person is harmed because of his nationality, race or religion. Because of the number of offenses committed with genocidal motives during and before the last war, and the shortcomings of the customary international law rules on the subject, the General Assembly of the United Nations unanimously adopted a Convention on Genocide, which has been submitted for ratification by the members, including the United States.

What Of The World Court Now?, C. Sumner Lobingier
Michigan Law Review
The Permanent Court of International Justice was expressly provided for in the League of Nations Covenant (Article XIV) of 1919 and the "Statute" creating it was drafted by an advisory committee of the League, meeting at the Hague, and opened for signature in the following year. By 1921 the ratifications of twenty-eight states put it into effect and the Court was formally opened, with a full quorum of judges, on February 15 (Bentham's birthday) 1922. For nearly twenty years it continued to function and its sessions were suspended only by the presence of the Nazi invaders of the Netherlands.

The Constitution And The International Labor Conventions, Harold W. Stoke
Michigan Law Review
The International Labor Organization, since its establishment in 1919, has become one of the most active of the international institutions of the post-war period. It was founded upon that provision of the Treaty of Versailles which binds each signatory nation and those which should later join the organization to endeavor to secure and maintain fair and humane conditions of labor for men, women and children, both in their own countries and in the countries to which their commercial and industrial relations extend.

The 'Hot Trail' Into Mexico And Extradition Analogies, Edwin D. Dickinson
Articles
The recent decision of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Dominguez v. State, 234 S. W. 79, has given us an important precedent and also a valuable example of the solution of novel problems by means of analogies. A detachment of the military forces of the United States had been authorized by the War Department to enter Mexico on the "hot trail" in pursuit of bandits. While following a "hot trail" this detachment arrested Dominguez, a native citizen and resident of Mexico, and returned with him to the United States. It developed later that he was not one of …

League Of Nations And The Laws Of War, Ralph W. Aigler
Michigan Law Review
Everyone would agree that the renovation of international law presents a problem of commanding importance. Diversity of opinion is manifested, however, as soon as attention is directed to the details of the renovating process. Where to begin, what to emphasize, and how to go about it are questions which provoke a medley of discordant answers. Out of this medley a few paramount issues are beginning to emerge. One such issue concerns the so-called law of war. What shall be done about it? The World War revealed its lack of sanction, its confusion with self-interest, its chaotic uncertainty. Can it really …
Termination Of War, John M. Mathews
Termination Of War, John M. Mathews
Michigan Law Review
The termination of war must, at the outset, be distinguished Ifrom the termination of hostilities or actual warfare. As has been said, war is "not the mere employment of force, but the existence of the legal condition of things in which rights are or may be prosecuted by force. Thus, if two nations declare war one against the other, war exists, though no force whatever may as yet have been employed."' Similarly, it follows that, although actual hostilities have ceased, the status of war may continue until terminated in some regular way recognized by international law as sufficient for that …

The Execution Of Peace With Germany: An Experiment In International Organization, Edwin D. Dickinson
Articles
IN one respect, at least, the Peace of Versailles is unlike any of the great European settlements of earlier date. The provisions included to ensure the execution of its terms are vastly more ambitious in scope and more elaborate in detail than anything of the kind contained in earlier treaties. There is an extraordinary emphasis upon organization for the enforcement of peace.
League Of Nations And The Constitution, J M. Matthews
League Of Nations And The Constitution, J M. Matthews
Michigan Law Review
The Covenant for a League of Nations has justly aroused an immense amount of discussion in this country, since it undoubtedly presents to the American nation the most important of the many questions of foreign policy growing out of the Great War. Most of this discussion has dealt with the matter solely from the standpoint of policy or expediency, without noticing the interesting constitutional questions involved. When the Covenant has, on occasion, been considered from the constitutional point of view, such corsideration has generally been merely incidental and the writer's or speaker's views as to the desirability of subscribing to …

Sources Of International Law, Charles G. Fenwick
Michigan Law Review
International law has clearly reached a drisis in its development. For a period of nearly 300 years preceding the outbreak of the present war international law appeared to the casual observer to have grown steadily and progressively. The student of history was able to point out certain clear and definite advances in the development of the law and assign them to particular dates. Grotius could be pronounced the Father of International Law, and the year 1625, which marked the appearance of his great treatise, could be set as the beginning of the modem period. A noticeable improvement in the law …
Executive Legislative And Judical Recognition Of International Law In The United States, Charles G. Fenwick
Executive Legislative And Judical Recognition Of International Law In The United States, Charles G. Fenwick
Michigan Law Review
The indefiniteness which attends both the concept and the con- tent of what is known as international law will sufficiently explain why it is difficult to -determine the exact relation which that body of law which regulates the conduct of states bears to the domestic law of each individual state. First of all, jurists are not agreed as to whether international law deserves to be called law in any real sense. The followers of the school of AUSTIN who, restrict law to the category of commands imposed by a political superior upon a political inferior, naturally refuse to recognize the …
An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy
An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy
Michigan Law Review
When we talk of the State, its rights or its structures, we are necessarily led to the inquiry, "What do we mean by the State?" Beginning with the proposition that the State is a composite formed of individuals whose lives are shaped by the life of the whole, it necessarily follows that a perfect understanding of any particular State would involve a knowledge of the characteristics of the members who compose it. This of course is obviously impossible, but the theory underlying States generally is founded upon general human characteristics. So we may take as a basis the great truth …

The recent refusal of the Senate to ratify eight general arbitration treaties which the President had concluded with Austria-Hungary, Switzerland, Great Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Mexico,' and Norway and Sweden, until, against the protest of the President, it had modified them materially by amendment, has called public attention to the treaty-making power, and has raised the question as to whether or not any of that power is vested in the Senate.

International Extradition, Henry W. Rogers
Articles
It is a well-established principle of law that criminal prosecutions are local and not transitory. A wrong-doer whose wrong consists in a civil injury, or arises out of a breach of contract, can ordinarily be required to answer for the wrong done wherever he may be found. But a different principle is applied to the case of one who has committed a crime. As one nation does not enforce the penal laws of another, and as the process of the courts of a state can confer no authority beyond its own territorial limits, punishment can be avoided by escaping from …

The policy of returning for trial and punishment the criminal of one country who has escaped to another, is not less manifest than its justice. It would seem, therefore, that there ought to be no great difficulty in agreeing upon the proper international regulations for the purpose. This, ho:wever, has until recently been practically an impossibility. While the leading nations of Christendom were engaged for a very large proportion of the time in inflicting upon each other all the mischief possible, it was not to be expected that they would be solicitous to assist in the enforcement of their respective …
