"Peaceful Purposes" And Other Relevant Provisions Of The Revised Composite Negotiating Text: A Comparative Analysis Of The Existing And The Proposed Military Regime For The High Seas, Rex J. Zedalis

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

In view of the short term and the long term international instability which may be generated by the militarization of outer space, the polar zones, or the oceans, it is imperative that the prescriptions of international law affecting military utilization of such areas be thoroughly examined in order to determine if adequate and effective restrictions or limitations on such activities exist. This study will initiate and hopefully stimulate continuing interest in such an examination by scrutinizing the international legal prescriptions which affect various military uses of the high seas.

The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act And Antitrust: A Hollow Promise, Donald E. Dekieffer

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Even when it has been "successfully" used, the FSIA has not been able to overcome any of the traditional substantive defenses used by foreign companies to insulate themselves from antitrust scrutiny. Foreign compulsion, sovereign immunity, and an act of state remain impregnable bastions to American plaintiffs injured by the effects of offshore conspiracies.

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article is included in the symposium entitled: Refinancing of Third World Debt.

The third world loans of the American banks are still the most controversial and most worrying part of their international business, even if the wilder fears expressed earlier in 1976 have been discredited. Or to put it more properly, the experience has not been good, but international banks seem so far to have had sound shock absorbers.

Political Asylum And The Refugee Hijacker: A Suggested Alternative, Nancy L. Cohen

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This Note will examine the circumstances under which a state may grant asylum to an individual who has committed an airline hijacking. It has been suggested that any airline hijacker who has committed a political offense and is exempt from extradition is thereby entitled to asylum. It is submitted that a more limited distinction be made. Only the individual who is truly seeking refuge from political persecution has a right to enjoy political asylum elsewhere. The terrorist or fugitive from justice, irrespective of his motives, has no right to asylum. He should, therefore, be extradited under all circumstances.
