The Arab Economic Boycott Of Israel: The International Law Perspective, Preston L. Greene, Jr.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Most of the discussion about the Arab economic boycott of Israel has focused on its effect upon United States law. Even when the discussion centers on moral and ethical considerations, the focus remains on the United States. This limited perspective, however, merely reflects the vast global economic interests of the United States. Nonetheless, the extensive analysis of American law and practices has tended to obscure the importance of applicable international norms. This article examines the effects and implications of the Arab boycott upon existing and evolving norms of contemporary international law. To properly analyze the international legal norms, the operative …

The Trade Act Of 1974 Revisited: The Need For Further Reform, Scott C. Whitney

Faculty Publications

Approximately four months after President Ford signed into law the Trade Act of 1974,1 the first petition for import relief was filed invoking the "liberalized" provisions of Title II.2 In the three years since the effective date of the 1974 Act, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has instituted investigations concerning a wide variety of commodities. 3 Nonetheless, even though Congress by enacting the 1974 Act intended to minimize the President's control over trade policy and to make import relief more accessible to both industry and labor, the lTC's recommendations have rarely been followed. This article will analyze the …

The United States Record Communications Industry Dichotomy--Time For Change, Paul E. Tellier

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This paper will explore the battle between Western Union and the international record carriers in the record communications field. It will trace the development of the United States record communications industry from the early history of electric telegraphy, through the enactment of the Communications Act of 1934 and the Western Union divestitute of 1943, the gateway and mailgram cases of the second half of the twentieth century. It will examine the diverse solutions proposed--ranging from free competition between Western Union and the international record carriers in both the domestic and international markets to the creation of a single monopolistic entity …

Commerce Department Regulations Governing Participation By United States Persons In Foreign Boycotts, Paul Mccarthy, John F. Mckenzie

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This article outlines the most important of the Regulations and highlights areas that are likely to give rise to major problems for firms that are engaged in trade or business with countries that participate in an international boycott not sanctioned by the United States. Differences between the proposed and final Regulations are discussed. The article will also examine the persons and transactions that are subject to the Export Administration Amendments Act of 1977 (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") and then discuss certain of the most significant prohibitions of the Act. Although much of the discussion in this article, like …

The Contemporary Antitrust Regulation Of Joint Ventures In The European Economic Community, Stephen O. Spinks

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The joint venture is a form of organization widely used in international business. Although anticompetitive effects of mergers, interlocking directorates, and cartels are more frequently the targets of enforcement efforts under antitrust laws than joint ventures, the latter can be equally effective in reducing competition in the market place.

The legal status of joint ventures in various jurisdictions has remained a subject of some confusion possibly because of their hybrid nature--not quite cartels, yet not quite mergers. This confusion still exists to some extent in the United States, despite the fact that the Supreme Court has held that section 7 …

Presidential Emergency Powers Related To International Economic Transactions, Mary M.C. Bowman

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

On December 28, 1977, President Carter signed into law Public Law 95-223, an act "[w]ith respect to the powers of the President in time of war or national emergency." The primary purpose of the Act is to revise the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917 (TWEA), and thus to restrict presidential authority to respond to emergencies related to international economic transactions. The Act is the latest product of a continuing congressional effort to readjust the balance of power between the two branches of government. The War Powers Resolution and the National Emergencies Act were earlier pieces of legislation intended …

The Revised Hague Rules On Bills Of Lading, Gabriel M. Wilner

Scholarly Works

In what amounts to a proposed new Convention to replace the "Hague Rules," the United Nations Commission on International Law (UNCITRAL) has included an Article (22) authorizing parties to a contract for the carriage of goods to provide for arbitration of disputes arising therefrom. States which become parties to the Convention would be required to give effect to such a contract. The proposed Convention gives the plaintiff much the same options with respect to either the judicial or the arbitral forum. These options as to locale tend to favor the defending party -- usually the carrier. On the other hand, …
