Canada's Sovereignty Over The Northwest Passage, Donat Pharand Jan 1989

Canada's Sovereignty Over The Northwest Passage, Donat Pharand

Michigan Journal of International Law

In 1968, when this writer published "Innocent Passage in the Arctic," Canada had yet to assert its sovereignty over the Northwest Passage. It has since done so by establishing, in 1985, straight baselines around the whole of its Arctic Archipelago. In August of that year, the U. S. Coast Guard vessel Polar Sea made a transit of the Northwest Passage on its voyage from Thule, Greenland, to the Chukchi Sea. Having been notified of the impending transit, Canada informed the United States that it considered all the waters of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago as historic internal waters and that a …


Interpreting The Withdrawal Clause In Arms Control Treaties, Cindy A. Cohn Jan 1989

Interpreting The Withdrawal Clause In Arms Control Treaties, Cindy A. Cohn

Michigan Journal of International Law

This Note argues that although a danger to future arms control may exist, a treaty clause must be susceptible to interpretation and boundaries of use which are in harmony with general international law principles. As Professor Schwelb has stated: "[I]t cannot have been… the intention of the parties to throw the principle of pacta sunt servanda overboard in favor of the anarchic idea of the unfettered right of a sovereign state to free itself unilaterally from a treaty obligation." Although Schwelb admits that the Clause itself is subject to "auto-interpretation" by the states parties to the treaty, he adds that …


Sovereignty, Territory And The International Lawyer's Dilemma, Donald W. Greig Jan 1988

Sovereignty, Territory And The International Lawyer's Dilemma, Donald W. Greig

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

A historical perspective of the rules of territorial acquisition and of Antarctic sovereignty provides a basis for an examination of the conflict between international law and state sovereignty. While there may not be any immediate redress against the unlawful action of powerful states, the evolution of international law provides a value system and rule-making capacity which does not grant legitimacy to such actions.

The Future Of The United Nations And The World Government., Ge Fan Liu Jan 1986

The Future Of The United Nations And The World Government., Ge Fan Liu

LLM Theses and Essays

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a proposal which I think is very correct to keep peace in the future of the world. We are all not sure what is going to happen in the future, but what we know at least is what is most likely going to happen and what work we can do that if we do it we can avoid disaster. Based upon this logic, I find World Government is the most likely candidate which can save human life and keep the peace as I have discussed in the whole paper.


The Dialectic Of Duplicity: Treaty Conflict And Political Contradiction, Guyora Binder Apr 1985

The Dialectic Of Duplicity: Treaty Conflict And Political Contradiction, Guyora Binder

Buffalo Law Review

When a state undertakes conflicting treaty obligations are both treaties binding, or is the second precluded by the first? International lawyers have traditionally held opposing views on this question. This article, the first on the topic, provides a comprehensive analysis and critique of the treaty conflict problem, and offers a political theoretic explanation for its persistent intractability. According to this explanation, opposing views of the power of states to incur international commitments reflect opposing views of the normative basis for state sovereignty and the scope of state autonomy. One view proceeds from an imperial model of sovereignty, articulated by Bodin …

Book Review: The New Nationalism And The Use Of Common Spaces: Issues In Marine Pollution And The Exploitation Of Antartica Jan 1983

Book Review: The New Nationalism And The Use Of Common Spaces: Issues In Marine Pollution And The Exploitation Of Antartica

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

As attention focuses upon the Antartic continent and other common international spaces as possible targets for development, decisionmakers mut be sensitive to the myriad, complex problems involved with such development. The development of Antartica, the subject of this study, must be attempted only after careful though and must progress incrementally. Two tensions, however, operate to distract us from studied development. They are resource scarcity and growing nationalism.


Jurisdictional Bases For Criminal Legislation And Its Enforcement, B.J. George Jr. Jan 1983

Jurisdictional Bases For Criminal Legislation And Its Enforcement, B.J. George Jr.

Michigan Journal of International Law

The doctrine of jurisdiction-the authority of nations or states to create or prescribe penal or regulatory norms and to enforce them through administrative and judicial action- has been a source of difficulty in both international and domestic law for centuries. The last two decades, however, have witnessed more conflicts over the invocation of forum penal laws to reach persons and activities outside national boundaries than had arisen for more than a century before. Moreover, treaties restricting some dimensions of penal jurisdiction based on other than the territorial concept have become increasingly common, and some nations have legislated to prevent their …

United States Jurisdiction Over Extraterritorial Crime, Christopher L. Blakesley Jan 1982

United States Jurisdiction Over Extraterritorial Crime, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

The term jurisdiction may be defined as the authority to affect legal interests -- to prescribe rules of law (legislative jurisdiction), to adjudicate legal questions (judicial jurisdiction) and to enforce judgments the judiciary made (enforcement jurisdiction). The definition, nature and scope of jurisdiction vary depending on the context in which it is to be applied. United States domestic law, for example, defines and applies notions of jurisdiction pursuant to the United States constitutional provisions relating to the separation of powers. Within the United States, jurisdiction is defined and applied in a variegated fashion depending on whether a legal problem is …
