The Peaceful Settlement Of International Disputes Within The United Nations System, Giovanni Acerbi

LLM Theses and Essays

The purpose of this thesis will be, after having examined generally the principles which regulate the settlement of international disputes under international law, to understand the function that the United Nations has in the settlement of disputes and, particularly, to see the role played by the General Assembly and the Security Council in preserving peace and security, including the pacific settlement of disputes. In order to do that, we cannot avoid, of course, investigating and clarifying the purposes of the United Nations as an organ of conciliation. Then we will examine the United Nations structure, particularly the General Assembly, the …

International Law And Conflict Resolution: Palestinian Claims And The Arab States, J. L. Taulbee, David P. Forsythe

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Over the last few years there has been a revival of interest in international law as a mechanism for conflict resolution. These same years have seen a demonstration of the undeveloped state of international law, particularly concerning intrastate conflicts. The wide disagreement about questions of fact, legal consequence, and world order implications of internal war is a telling commentary on the current problems of applying legal standards to such conflicts. A major part of the disagreement can be explained in terms of the specific problems relating to fact determination and authoritative interpretation engendered by the nature of the environment in …

Mao And Mediation: Politics And Dispute Resolution In Communist China, Stanley B. Lubman

Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies

We lack much essential knowledge, not only about Chinese Communist legal institutions, but about Chinese society generally – how it is organized, how power is distributed and wielded, and the nature of even the most ordinary relationships. Such ignorance is dangerous, especially when China and the United States, and their perceptions of each other, remain tragically far apart. An analysis of China's institutions for resolving disputes can teach much about its dominant values and authority relationships.

This Article examines the resolution of disputes between individuals in China, relying on documentary sources and on interviews conducted by the author in Mandarin …

Determining The Law Governing Performance In International Commercial Arbitration: A Comparative Study, Gabriel M. Wilner

Scholarly Works

Persons entering into commercial agreements of a transnational nature have often shown a preference for the arbitration tribunal rather than the court of law as the instrument for settling disputes which may arise between them.

The parties, who may be either individuals or legal persons, such as corporations, manifest their desire to employ arbitration by providing for its use in the arbitration clause of the contract. It is generally agreed that such a clause, whether or not it is considered as part of the main contract, is consensual in nature. But the significance of the agreement to arbitrate is determined …

Developments In Space Law, Albert Gore

Vanderbilt Law Review

A democratic society could not long endure without the voluntary support of its citizens of application of legal proceedings for settlement of disputes. Perhaps few take the time to consider the extent to which our daily lives are affected by the judicial machinery which a free people have established. Here I refer not merely to the deterrent effect of criminal laws by which we deal with offenses against society. I refer also to our system for the legal settlement of controversies arising between individuals. After all, without our courts and our lawyers, questions involving tort and breach of contract would …

Negotiation Principles: In Law Or World Affairs, Charles P. Taft

Cleveland State Law Review

Negotiation should be part of every law school curriculum-as a required course. Every lawyer soon learns, in active practice, how important it is. There are certain principles of sound negotiation (or "dickering," in colloquial speech) that every lawyer should know-or anyone engaged in any profession, business or enterprise, for that matter. These principles apply almost exactly alike to a negotiation involving a legal action or to one involving national or international frictions-to settlement of a personal injury claim, or a dispute between the United States and Russia.

International Arbitration, Joseph B. Moore

Michigan Law Review

The history of the race whether considered as one of individuals or as nations has been one of struggle. Did one individual fancy another had done him a wrong, he proceeded to right that wrong himself by the exercise of force. From the day when Cain killed his brother Abel, for many centuries contests between individuals were settled, not as justice dictated, but by brute force. The result was a disorderly condition of society unfavorable to peaceful conditions. In the evolution of the race, when men differed, instead of attempting to settle their differences by force, tribunals were brought into …
