The Search For Resolution Of The Canada-France Ocean Dispute Adjacent To St. Pierre And Miquelon, Ted L. Mcdorman

Dalhousie Law Journal

They were not to become an "object of jealously" according to the British and French in 1783. True to this admonition, the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon have remained as the uncontested footnotes to France's colonial presence in North America. However, the ocean area and resources adjacent to the French islands became the object of intense jealously, being the centre of a thorny, 25 year international dispute between Canada and France.


International Consequences Of Norway's Decision To Allow The Resumption Of Limited Commercial Whaling, Dylan A. Macleod Apr 1994

International Consequences Of Norway's Decision To Allow The Resumption Of Limited Commercial Whaling, Dylan A. Macleod

Dalhousie Law Journal

In May 1993, Norway announced that it intended to resume limited, controlled commercial whaling. Although the International Whaling Commission (of which Norway is a founding member) voted by an eighteen to six margin to uphold the moratorium on commercial whaling originally established in 1985-86, Norway's decision to resume limited commercial whaling was not illegal. Norway had legally "opted out" of the moratorium by way of the Objections Procedure contained in the International Whaling Convention. Beyond being legal, Norway's decision to resume small-scale harvesting of minke whale stocks was in accordance with the findings of the Scientific Committee of the IWC, …

Peace Vs. Accountability In Bosnia, Anthony D'Amato Jan 1994

Peace Vs. Accountability In Bosnia, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

Hovering over the peace negotiations in progress in former Yugoslavia is the international community's determination to bring to trial as war criminals those political and military leaders responsible for atrocities in Bosnia. The question clearly presented is that, however desirable the idea of war crimes accountability might appear in the abstract, pursuing the goal of a war crimes tribunal may simply result in prolonging a war of civilian atrocities. Is it not conceivable that, in return for securing a peace treaty, the UN officials may have extended some assurance to the leaders in former Yugoslavia that, one way or another, …


International Abductions, Low Intensity Conflicts, And State Sovereignty: A Moral Inquiry, Fernando R. Tesón Jan 1994

International Abductions, Low Intensity Conflicts, And State Sovereignty: A Moral Inquiry, Fernando R. Tesón

Scholarly Publications

What are the moral principles bearing on operations such as an international abduction? International abductions are part of a larger category of international acts referred to as "low-intensity" operations. Can these acts be morally justified in time of peace? Can one nation, for example, rightfully claim that abductions of persons who are suspected of horrendous crimes by agents of another country violate the first country's sovereignty? Does the interest of the other country in bringing such persons to trial outweigh that sovereignty claim? If not, what interest of the second country could possibly justify the abduction? In any case, are …
