Michigan Law Review

The Permanent International Court of Justice - For the first time in history leading powers both great and small have been able to agree upon a plan for an international court of justice.

It will come into operation as soon as the project has been ratified by a majority of the nations belonging to the League

The Execution Of Peace With Germany: An Experiment In International Organization, Edwin D. Dickinson Apr 1920

The Execution Of Peace With Germany: An Experiment In International Organization, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

IN one respect, at least, the Peace of Versailles is unlike any of the great European settlements of earlier date. The provisions included to ensure the execution of its terms are vastly more ambitious in scope and more elaborate in detail than anything of the kind contained in earlier treaties. There is an extraordinary emphasis upon organization for the enforcement of peace.


The Equality Of States In International Law, Edwin Dewitt Dickinson Jan 1920

The Equality Of States In International Law, Edwin Dewitt Dickinson

Books

The author has attempted in this volume to present the equality of states as it appears in the theory of international law and also as it is affected by common usage. Theoretical aspects of the subject are considered in chapters dealing with the sources of the principle, its origin, and its significance in the writings of modem publicists and in illustrative documents. The opinion that Grotius first established the principle in international law is examined and evidence is adduced which indicates that the opinion is erroneous. The equality of states as affected by common usage is really their inequality or …


Retaliation And Neutral Rights, Hessel Edward Yntema May 1919

Retaliation And Neutral Rights, Hessel Edward Yntema

Michigan Law Review

The readjustment of international law to the ever-changing conditions of maritime warfare has always presented problems of extreme difficulty. Particularly is this the case, when, as in the Napoleonic wars and the recent European conflict, belligerents, falling back upon the exceptional plea of necessity, attempt to modify the rights of neutral powers to their own advantage or even to involve them in the conflict. A question of this character, namely, the extent to which a belligerent in pursuing retaliatory measures against 'alleged violations of international law by his opponent, may thereby abridge the admitted rights of neutrals, was raised in …


Sources Of International Law, Charles G. Fenwick Apr 1918

Sources Of International Law, Charles G. Fenwick

Michigan Law Review

International law has clearly reached a drisis in its development. For a period of nearly 300 years preceding the outbreak of the present war international law appeared to the casual observer to have grown steadily and progressively. The student of history was able to point out certain clear and definite advances in the development of the law and assign them to particular dates. Grotius could be pronounced the Father of International Law, and the year 1625, which marked the appearance of his great treatise, could be set as the beginning of the modem period. A noticeable improvement in the law …

War And Law, Charles H. Hamill Nov 1917

War And Law, Charles H. Hamill

Michigan Law Review

Law creates rights. It not merely defines them; it creates them. Without law, one may what he can. With law, one can only that which he may. Law is the device by which the many, individually weak, control and compel the few individually strong or cunning. It is a device by which is reduced nature's handicap in favor of the physically strong and ruthless. Where law obtains, those who are fitted to the system created by the law, as the economically efficient, prevail and survive. In the absence of law, only the strong and cunning can survive.


New Law Of Nations, Joseph Kohler Jun 1917

New Law Of Nations, Joseph Kohler

Michigan Law Review

If the article upon the New Law of Nations had been written by an obscure man for a sensational periodical, it would not have been worthy of serious consideration. It appeared in September, 1915, however, in the ZEITSCHRIFT FUR V6LKERRECHT, generally reputed to be the leading periodical devoted to international law, published in the German language. Its author, Dr. JOsEF Ko.HLER, is generally conceded to be the most distinguished living German jurist. His PHILOSOPHY OF LAW was deemed worthy of translation into English and appeared as Volume 12 of the Modern Legal Philosophy Series.' Dean Roscog POUND has referred.to him …

International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion Apr 1915

International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

The case of Belgium presents an entirely different aspect both from the legal and the political point of view. While the guarantee of the neutrality of Luxemburg interests---or interested at the time of the signature of the Treaty of 1867 -- France and Prussia only, and the other contracting parties (and particularly Great Britain) acceded to it, to use the "'reluctantly," words of Lord Stanley, that of Belgium had and has an entirely different character so far as England is concerned. It affects her vital interests, namely, her own security. Hence the difference in the wording of the instrument guaranteeing …


International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion Mar 1915

International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

The International status of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg and J-of the Kingdom of Belgium, through whose territory the army of Kaiser William II marched, in order, to use the expression of Grotius, "to meet the enemy," has been, since the outbreak of the present European war, the crucial point of discussion between the diplomatists and publicists of the belligerents, each trying to impress upon the neutral public the justice of the cause of their country.


International Law In War, Thomas Niemeyer Jan 1915

International Law In War, Thomas Niemeyer

Michigan Law Review

International Law in War and the International Law of War are two distinct things, and the fact that they are not carefully enough distinguished has been the source -in the present war of certain misunderstandings that are in no way unimportant.


Neutralization Of Belgium And The Doctrine Of Kriegsraison, Jesse S. Reeves Jan 1915

Neutralization Of Belgium And The Doctrine Of Kriegsraison, Jesse S. Reeves

Michigan Law Review

Anything which Professor Niemeyer has to say in the field of International Law is deserving of serious attention. Under his editorial supervision the ZEITSCHRIFT INTERNATIONALES RECHT has become a valuable factor in the development of International Law in Germany. The foregoing article, which recently appeared in the JURISTICHE WOCHENSCHRIFT, has been translated with his consent with a view to its publication in these pages. The leading thought of the article is to arrive at a justification of Germany's failure to observe the Treaty of London of 1839 from the point of view of International Law. He rests his case (1) …


Executive Legislative And Judical Recognition Of International Law In The United States, Charles G. Fenwick Feb 1913

Executive Legislative And Judical Recognition Of International Law In The United States, Charles G. Fenwick

Michigan Law Review

The indefiniteness which attends both the concept and the con- tent of what is known as international law will sufficiently explain why it is difficult to -determine the exact relation which that body of law which regulates the conduct of states bears to the domestic law of each individual state. First of all, jurists are not agreed as to whether international law deserves to be called law in any real sense. The followers of the school of AUSTIN who, restrict law to the category of commands imposed by a political superior upon a political inferior, naturally refuse to recognize the …

International Arbitration, Joseph B. Moore May 1909

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 …

An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy Nov 1908

An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy

Michigan Law Review

When we talk of the State, its rights or its structures, we are necessarily led to the inquiry, "What do we mean by the State?" Beginning with the proposition that the State is a composite formed of individuals whose lives are shaped by the life of the whole, it necessarily follows that a perfect understanding of any particular State would involve a knowledge of the characteristics of the members who compose it. This of course is obviously impossible, but the theory underlying States generally is founded upon general human characteristics. So we may take as a basis the great truth …


The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd Feb 1908

The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd

Michigan Law Review

The second Hague Conference came to an end on October 18, 1907, after sitting for more than four months. In the popular mind the Conference has been dismissed as a failure. No sensational actions were taken, and the quiet and solid work of a group of international lawyers has had little attraction for the general public. It is, however, worth while to make a plain statement of what the Conference did and did not accomplish. The first Hague Conference in 1899 was essentially a peace conference. The question of partial disarmament was put at the head of the Russian program …
