The Nonproliferation Treaty And The "New World Order", Bryan L. Sutter

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT or Treaty) faces either extinction or extension in 1995, when the NPT signatories will meet to decide its fate. Given the rapid changes in today's nuclear technology and political environment, many states have expressed reservations about extending the Treaty. This Note considers the implications of those reservations as well as arguments favoring extension. This Note reviews the birth of the atomic age and the terms of the NPT and examines the Treaty's strengths and weaknesses. The author concludes that the Treaty should remain in force and suggests strategies for maintaining the …

The Command And Control Of United Nations Forces In The Era Of "Peace Enforcement", James W. Houck

Faculty Scholarship

This Article explores how concerns regarding the United Nations' authority to make political, strategic, and operational decisions that comprise the right to command and control UN forces might be reconciled within the framework of the United Nations Charter to create a contemporary and more enduring regime for the command and control of United Nations forces. As Part II demonstrates, command and control issues are not new to the United Nations; indeed, in 1945 the signatories to the United Nations Charter created a model for the command and control of United Nations forces.

While the cold war ensured that this model …

The Decline And Fall Of The War Powers Resolution: Waging War Under The Constitution After Desert Storm, John W. Rolph

Mercer Law Review

On August 2, 1990, Iraqi armed forces stormed across their borders and invaded the neighboring country of Kuwait. Almost immediately thereafter, President Bush drew a "line in the sand" against further Iraqi aggression by deploying approximately 230,000 American armed combat troops to the desert of Saudi Arabia as a deterrent shield. In so doing, the President rekindled a long standing controversy with Congress concerning the proper exercise of war powers under the Constitution and how those powers should be distributed between the executive and legislative branches. The President's "line in the sand" sparked unprecedented reevaluation of the much maligned War …

Assassination And The Law Of Armed Conflict, Patricia Zengel

Mercer Law Review

The availability of assassination of foreign leaders as a means of achieving United States foreign policy objectives is an issue that has proven in recent years to be a recurring one. However, it does not arise in isolation; instead it is almost always part of a larger political controversy over United States foreign policy objectives and whether force of any kind should be used to pursue them. Certainly this was true with regard to the controversies that surrounded United States policy, including alleged involvement in assassination plots toward Cuba, Vietnam, the Congo, and the Dominican Republic in the 1960s, and …

Article 51: Limits On Self-Defense?, Thomas K. Plofchan Jr.

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article's two-pronged analysis has three distinct parts. Part I lays out the controversy of Article 51 interpretation as applied to the recent Gulf Crisis. Part II examines the legal guidance for interpreting the U.N. Charter, the Charter's travaux preparatoires, and specifically the work of the committees and subcommittees responsible for drafting and amending articles that fully incorporate the right of self-defense into the Charter. This Part develops conclusions on Article 51 that may be applied to the context of the recent Gulf Crisis. This Part also contrasts the Article 51 right of collective self-defense with the right of …

Continuing Limits On Un Intervention In Civil War, Mary Ellen O'Connell

Journal Articles

Can the United Nations (UN or Organization) send military forces into civil war without the consent of the parties to the conflict? To date, it never has, but with the end of the Cold War, the Organization is in a position to think again about its proper role in civil war. During the past year, the Security Council has had requests to intervene in the civil wars in Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Somalia. So far, the UN has sent troops to Iraq and Yugoslavia but only after getting the consent of all parties.

The Security Council's recent decisions conform with the …

Our First Televised Genocide, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

It is absolutely appalling that we have come so casually to observe the carnage, so passively to view the starvation over breakfast papers or dinnertime newscasts, so helplessly to watch these totally bereft human beings trudging barefoot over treacherous terrain toward the middle of nowhere.

There are other questions as well, of course, not as easily answered. Where are all their voices now, those demonstrators who so vociferously opposed war, ostensibly out of an overweening reverence for life? Is the latter-day holocaust being systematically perpetrated in northern Iraq any less horrifying than a direct hit on a camouflaged bomb shelter …

The Strategic Defense Initiative And The Militarization Of Space: Scientific Responsibility And Citizen Resistance, Matthew Lippman

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

The moderating of international tensions between the superpowers, the slowing of the nuclear arms race and the promise of a peace dividend have all contributed to a lessened popular concern over issues of national defense.1 The diversion of attention from war and peace has resulted in little scholarly attention being paid to the ominous potential growth in third-generation high-technology weapons.
