International Law - Sovereignty - Judicial Examination Of Foreign Act Of State Under International Law, Lawrence Ray Bishop Dec 1961

International Law - Sovereignty - Judicial Examination Of Foreign Act Of State Under International Law, Lawrence Ray Bishop

Michigan Law Review

In retaliation for a reduction of its sugar quota by the United States the Cuban government nationalized certain Cuban enterprises in which United States citizens held majority interests. Defendant had earlier contracted to purchase a shipment of sugar from one of the nationalized Cuban corporations. To obtain permission to remove the shipment from Cuban waters, defendant was forced to execute another contract with plaintiff's assignor, an agent of the Cuban government, which agreement embodied terms identical to those in the original contract with the exception that payment was to be made to plaintiff's assignor. Upon learning that a receiver of …


International Law- Criminal Law- Jurisdiction Over Aliens For Crimes Committed Abroad, Frank G. Reeder S. Ed Nov 1961

International Law- Criminal Law- Jurisdiction Over Aliens For Crimes Committed Abroad, Frank G. Reeder S. Ed

Michigan Law Review

Six alien defendants were convicted under a federal statute for knowingly making false statements before United States consular officials abroad in order to procure nonquota immigrant visas. Their motion to dismiss this count on the ground that the district court lacked jurisdiction to indict and try aliens for crimes committed outside the territorial limits of the United States was denied. On appeal, held, affirmed. As a necessary incident to its sovereignty, the United States is competent to punish aliens apprehended within the United States for acts against its sovereignty committed outside the country. Rocha v. United States, 288 …

The International Rule Of Law, William W. Bishop Feb 1961

The International Rule Of Law, William W. Bishop

Michigan Law Review

In contrast with the previous lectures in this series on the Rule of Law, we are today not concerned with how the Rule of Law operates in a highly organized modem state like our own United States; but are turning instead to the world-wide community (or perhaps more properly international arena or international sphere of action, since the very word "community" may over-emphasize the degree of common sentiment!), in which the present role of the law is far less than within the state. Our first question is whether there is in fact any such thing as an international Rule of …

On March 30, 1960, the United States and Rumania settled by agreement certain claims of American nationals against Rumania. The agreement provides for the payment by Rumania of a lump sum in discharge of those claims. In recent years the device of the en-bloc or lump-sum settlement of international claims has to some extent replaced the use of the mixed claims commission.


International Claims Procedure Before The Department Of State, Gordon A. Christenson Jan 1961

International Claims Procedure Before The Department Of State, Gordon A. Christenson

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

The problem of method in the presentation of international claims to the Department of State has received inadequate analysis.' Remedial or procedural aspects of international law have been viewed largely as international arbitration, adjudication of disputes before the International Court of Justice or the determination of claims by national claims commissions. 2 This article will consider some procedural aspects of presenting international claims to the Department of State for espousal to foreign governments or for other assistance. Since much international litigation between states originates in this fashion, it is appropriate that an inquiry into procedures should begin with the first …
