Jurisdiction Over Foregin Flag Vessels And The U.S. Courts: Adrift Without A Compass?, Stefan A. Riesenfeld
Jurisdiction Over Foregin Flag Vessels And The U.S. Courts: Adrift Without A Compass?, Stefan A. Riesenfeld
Michigan Journal of International Law
Jurisdiction of a nation over vessels flying a foreign flag and over persons aboard such vessels should be a relatively simple and well settled matter. The sad fact, however, is that it is not. Moreover, the recent 1986 Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act has added unnecessary and unexplainable confusion.
Isolationism Or Deference? The Alien Tort Claims Act And The Separation Of Powers, Victor A. Pappalardo
Isolationism Or Deference? The Alien Tort Claims Act And The Separation Of Powers, Victor A. Pappalardo
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Note examines the rationales behind Filartiga and other cases which have had the opportunity to pass upon its holding, notably the holdings in Tel-Oren v. Libyan Arab Republic and Forti v. Suarez- Mason. It then focuses on the validity of these rationales with respect to the constitutional separation of powers scheme. In so doing, it analyzes Filartiga's conclusions in light of the act of state and political question doctrines, two closely interrelated doctrines which have been at the forefront of the separation of powers criticisms of Filartiga. This Note concludes by suggesting that a clear case exists …
The Changing Process Of International Law And The Role Of The World Court, J. Patrick Kelly
The Changing Process Of International Law And The Role Of The World Court, J. Patrick Kelly
Michigan Journal of International Law
Two approaches have emerged in recent American literature as to the appropriate United States attitude toward the World Court: (1) the re-acceptance of compulsory jurisdiction with various reservations to preserve vital American interests; and (2) the preservation of the status quo premised on a perception that the World Court is biased or misguided, while promoting the United States government's perspective on international law. This article argues that neither approach comes to terms with the wide disagreements about content and process in the international community. Both fail to promote the goals of an enhanced World Court or a better international legal …
The Contours Of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction In Drug Smuggling Cases, Stephen E. Chelberg
The Contours Of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction In Drug Smuggling Cases, Stephen E. Chelberg
Michigan Journal of International Law
This note examines the contours of U.S. jurisdiction over drug smugglers on the high seas. After a brief discussion of the two principal U.S. drug statutes, the note considers the territorial and protective principles of jurisdiction as defined by U.S. courts. Controversy currently centers around whether U.S. drug laws apply to foreign ships, carrying controlled substances on the high seas, where there has been no showing of an intent to import the drugs into the United States.
Jurisdictional Bases For Criminal Legislation And Its Enforcement, B.J. George Jr.
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 …

I. Review Of Foreign Laws, Michigan Journal Of International Law
Michigan Journal of International Law
The selection of national law summaries which follows is designed to enable the reader to survey the spectrum of domestic laws governing jurisdiction and judicial assistance. The reader may also find the summaries to be a useful starting point for further research. While the summaries vary somewhat in scope and degree of specificity, the differences are attributable to a desire to provide reasonably authoritative-rather than speculative- synopses of the law.
