A Statement Of Moral Purpose: The 1948 Genocide Convention, Michael P. Murphy
A Statement Of Moral Purpose: The 1948 Genocide Convention, Michael P. Murphy
Fordham International Law Journal
Genocide was declared an international crime in 1946. In response to this declaration, the Convention on Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide was adopted in 1948. Although 28 years have passed, the United States has not yet determined its position, with respect to the Convention and this international compact is still pending before the Senate. This article is concerned primarily with the probable impact of the United States' position on the Genocide Convention in light of international law and relations. The body of the Convention is discussed and analyzed along with three proposed United States' understandings. It is …
Legal Implications Of Population Control: A Practical Reevaluation Of Some Human Rights Considerations, Susan C. Eisenhauer
Legal Implications Of Population Control: A Practical Reevaluation Of Some Human Rights Considerations, Susan C. Eisenhauer
Fordham International Law Journal
In recent years, much attention has been devoted to the problems of overpopulation and attempts at slowing population growth. The number of people is expanding at an alarming rate, thereby threatening the physical environment as well as the quality of human life. The United Nations has not adequately dealt with the population problems. This paper outlines the existing problem and its ramifications, and discussses the UN position regarding human rights in the area of family planning. Questions are raised, as to what the rights consist of, if they are absolute, and if protection of the quality of life should limit …
The Right To Asylum And The Indochinese Refugee, Edmond L. Papantonio
The Right To Asylum And The Indochinese Refugee, Edmond L. Papantonio
Fordham International Law Journal
This note is concerned primarily with asylum, i.e., the acceptance of an individual by a country of refuge, as well as how a refugee is to be treated after asylum has been granted. Although each of these issues can be analyzed in both legal and moral terms, the lack of any enforcement agency of procedures restricts their efficacy as rights in the traditional legal sense. Ultimately, as moral rights, their effectiveness depends upon the generosity of the accepting nation.
The Emerging Moral Framework Of International Law, Peter L. Destefano, Jr.
The Emerging Moral Framework Of International Law, Peter L. Destefano, Jr.
Fordham International Law Journal
This article explores the idea that, at the time of publication, despite several centuries of development, there was no settled conception of international law, whether there was “international law” and if there was, what were its essential characteristics. The author starts with the assertion that international law resembles a municipal legal system, insofar as its subjects are bound, by external sanctions, to its right-creating and power-conferring principles. A State will, in a well-ordered international community, be shaped and guided in its acts and judgments by an internal sense of right and justice; just as the punishment of a child will …
The U.S.-Soviet Maritime Agreement: A New Plan For Bilateral Cooperation, Jean S. Gerard
The U.S.-Soviet Maritime Agreement: A New Plan For Bilateral Cooperation, Jean S. Gerard
Fordham International Law Journal
The author starts with the premise that the U.S.-Soviet Maritime Agreement, which was signed on October 14, 1972, and renegotiated as of December 19, 1972, is unique. Before the agreement was signed, only about 6 percent of U.S.-Soviet trade was being carried in U.S. bottoms, whereas 94 percent was being carried in Soviet bottoms. The author highlights that one significant achievement of the Agreement was the reciprocal opening to access of forty U.S. ports and forty Soviet ports by commercial, scientific, and merchant marine training ships of the two nations upon four days advance notive. The selection of ports was …
