The Enrica Lexie And St. Antony: A Voyage Into Jurisdictional Conflict, Danielle Ireland-Piper May 2015

The Enrica Lexie And St. Antony: A Voyage Into Jurisdictional Conflict, Danielle Ireland-Piper

Danielle Ireland-Piper

The decision of the Supreme Court of India in Republic of Italy v Union of India illustrates the legal and diplomatic complexities that can arise when nations, and states within those nations, have competing claims to jurisdiction over the prosecution of criminal offences. In our increasingly interconnected world, competing claims to jurisdiction are more likely. The decision, among other things, is concerned with legal aspects of coastal state jurisdiction in a federal system and sovereign immunity under international law. This decision is of interest because Australia, like India, is a coastal nation that divides power between federal and state governments. …

Human Rights And Sovereign And Individual Immunities (Sovereign Immunity, Act Of State, Head Of State Immunity And Diplomatic Immunity) - Some Reflections, Ved P. Nanda

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Reflections on the application of sovereign and individual immunities law are especially pertinent in light of the controversy surrounding the arrest and trial of General Augosto Pinochet in Britain, at the request of a Spanish magistrate on charges of murder, hostage-taking, and torture during his seventeen year rule in Chile


The Practice Of Extradition From Antiquity To Modern France And The United States: A Brief History, Christopher L. Blakesley Jan 1981

The Practice Of Extradition From Antiquity To Modern France And The United States: A Brief History, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

In order to understand the perceptions of extradition’s function and purpose in modern France and the United States, it is important to consider the evolution of thought regarding extradition. This article will focus on the history of extradition law as it has influenced contemporary law in the United States and France. The purpose of the article is to provide insight into the development of the “modern” extradition. Although the process has not always been executed by use of a treaty agreement, treaty authorized extraditions have existed since antiquity. Moreover, a treaty authorized extradition for common crimes, as opposed to political …

Extradition Between France And The United States: An Exercise In Comparative And International Law, Christopher L. Blakesley Jan 1980

Extradition Between France And The United States: An Exercise In Comparative And International Law, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

In 1878 Cardaillac defined extradition as “the right for a State on the territory of which an accused or convicted person has take refuge, to deliver him up to another State wich has requisitioned his return and is competent to judge and punish him.” The term “extradition” was imported to the United States from France, where the decret-loi of Febraury 19, 1791, appears to be the first official document to have used the term. The term is not found in treaties or conventions until 1828. The Latin equivalent to extradition, “tradere”, is not found in early Latin works, but the …

Legal And Diplomatic Developments In The Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, Douglas M. Johnston Oct 1977

Legal And Diplomatic Developments In The Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, Douglas M. Johnston

Dalhousie Law Journal

Within the astonishingly brief timespan of five or six years, a fundamental change has been wrought in the international law of fisheries. Even to those only fleetingly familiar with current developments in the law of the sea, it is apparent that the establishment of 200-mile fishing zones in many parts of the world must signify a major legal change in the world of fishing. Indeed many of us have already become sufficiently accustomed to the new order that it may be useful to remind ourselves of the old order which has now yielded place to it. The classical approach to …
