The Power Of The Senate To Amend A Treaty, Bradley M. Thompson Jan 1905

The Power Of The Senate To Amend A Treaty, Bradley M. Thompson

Articles

The recent refusal of the Senate to ratify eight general arbitration treaties which the President had concluded with Austria-Hungary, Switzerland, Great Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, and Norway and Sweden, until, against the protest of the President, it had modified them materially by amendment, has called public attention to the treaty-making power, and has raised the question as to whether or not any of that power is vested in the Senate.

Privileges Of Ambassadors And Foreign Ministers, Charles Noble Gregory Jan 1905

Privileges Of Ambassadors And Foreign Ministers, Charles Noble Gregory

Michigan Law Review

The United States receives diplomatic representatives from thirty-seven nations and accredits her representatives to them in return. Six of these on each side are of the highest rank, namely, "Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary," being those received from and accredited to the five great powers of Europe, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Russia, and to our sister Republic of Mexico. The rest are almost without exception "Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary," standing in the second rank of "Les Employés Diplomatiques," to use the term adopted at the Congress of Vienna (1815) where the relative rank was determined which attaches to …

Russian Raids On Neutral Commerce, Edwin Maxey Nov 1904

Russian Raids On Neutral Commerce, Edwin Maxey

Michigan Law Review

The capture made by the Russian volunteer vessels in the Red Sea and by the Vladivostock fleet off the coast of Japan have revivified the question of the extent to which a belligerent may lawfully go in interfering with neutral commerce. Perhaps no question of international law has been prolific of more disputes than that of neutral rights. The intensity of feeling and desire for advantage incident to war are apt to cause belligerents to overlook neutral rights, and in their zeal to cripple an immediate enemy, to forget that they in turn will become neutrals and be transfixed by …

International Extradition, Henry W. Rogers Jan 1888

International Extradition, Henry W. Rogers

Articles

It is a well-established principle of law that criminal prosecutions are local and not transitory. A wrong-doer whose wrong consists in a civil injury, or arises out of a breach of contract, can ordinarily be required to answer for the wrong done wherever he may be found. But a different principle is applied to the case of one who has committed a crime. As one nation does not enforce the penal laws of another, and as the process of the courts of a state can confer no authority beyond its own territorial limits, punishment can be avoided by escaping from …

Extradition, Thomas M. Cooley Dec 1875

Extradition, Thomas M. Cooley

Articles

The policy of returning for trial and punishment the criminal of one country who has escaped to another, is not less manifest than its justice. It would seem, therefore, that there ought to be no great difficulty in agreeing upon the proper international regulations for the purpose. This, ho:wever, has until recently been practically an impossibility. While the leading nations of Christendom were engaged for a very large proportion of the time in inflicting upon each other all the mischief possible, it was not to be expected that they would be solicitous to assist in the enforcement of their respective …
