The North American Free Trade Agreemet And United States Employment., Roger W. Wallace, Max Scoular

St. Mary's Law Journal

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will create new opportunities for United States firms and workers while simultaneously protecting United States workers over a 15-year timeframe. The benefits of NAFTA include eliminating conditions that currently encourage or require United States firms to invest south of the border, establishing free trade in services, and eliminating non-tariff barriers which impede United States merchandise exports to Mexico. Furthermore, NAFTA would provide an improved and expanded regional trade and investment base resulting in a boost to the global competitiveness of US products. NAFTA would also increase trade liberalization with Mexico and maintain Mexico …

Open Skies: The 1955 Proposal And Its Current Revival, Jane Boulden

Dalhousie Law Journal

On 21 July 1955, at a four-power summit conference involving France, Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, President Eisenhower put forward a proposal calling upon the Soviet Union to engage in an exchange of military blueprints with the United States and to accept a system of mutual, unlimited aerial reconnaissance of each others' territory. Dubbed Open Skies, the proposal was intended to test the seriousness of the Soviet Union with respect to disarmament negotiations. It was also intended, if successful, to pull back the veil of secrecy surrounding the Soviet Union and its military activities.

Second, this writing identifies the major issues that should be considered if the proposed termination of the Trusteeship Agreement for Micronesia is subjected to Security Council review. Two basic concerns should be the propriety of the division of the Trust Territory into four separate entities and the legitimacy of the agreements between the new governments and the United States for continuing relations as either commonwealth or freely associated states. The history of and practice under the trusteeship system indicate that the particular …

International Law-Treaty Provisions Dealing With The Status Of Pre-War Bilateral Treaties, Stanley T. Lesser S.Ed. Feb 1953

International Law-Treaty Provisions Dealing With The Status Of Pre-War Bilateral Treaties, Stanley T. Lesser S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

"The effect of war upon the existing treaties of belligerents is one of the unsettled problems of the law." At one time, writers on international law felt that war, ipso facto, abrogated all bilateral treaties between the combatants, with the exception of those treaties especially designed to regulate the conduct of hostilities. The modern trend is to a more flexible approach; the courts attempt to discern the intention of the parties at the time they concluded the treaty or deal with the problem pragmatically, preserving or annulling the treaties as the necessities of war exact. Disagreement persists, however, and it …
