The U.N. Law Of The Sea Conference And The U.S. Congress: Will Pending U.S. Unilateral Action On Deep Seabed Mining Destroy Hope For A Treaty?, Paul N. Jr. Mccloskey, Ronald K. Losch

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The eighth session of the United Nations Law of the Sea Conference convened recently in Geneva, Switzerland. A major unresolved issue at the Conference was the question of international regulation of deep seabed mining. In this article, Representative McCloskey and Attorney Losch discuss U.S. interests in achieving a comprehensive Law of the Sea Treaty, the sometimes conflicting objectives of other nations, and the effect that unilateral action by the U.S. Congress to legislate deep seabed mining could have on the successful completion of a treaty.

Development Of The Rio Grande Compact, Raymond A. Hill

Publications

Thirty-six years have elapsed since the Rio Grande Compact of 1938, N.M.S.A. Section 75-34-3 (Repl. 1968), was entered into by Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, and approved by the United States of America. Administration of the Compact since then has been the responsibility of many different persons, few of whom had personal knowledge of the circumstances of the negotiation of this Compact. Consequently, there has been a growing tendency towards interpretation of some of the provisions of the Rio Grande Compact in a manner contrary to the intent of those who participated in its negotiation.

Mr. Hill has intimately connected …

Japan And International Conventions Relating To North Pacific Fisheries, Shigeru Oda

Washington Law Review

This paper will begin with a treatment of the North Pacific Fisheries Convention of 1952. After exploring this treaty and the abstention formula embodied in it, a study of the Northwest Pacific Fisheries Convention of 1956 and the formula incorporated therein will be undertaken. After studying the 1952 and 1956 Conventions, the paper will proceed to examine the recent fisheries agreement of 1965 between Japan and the Republic of Korea. This last agreement contains an idea of equal sharing of high seas fish resources among the nations concerned.

New Uses Of International Law In The North Pacific, Douglas M. Johnston

Washington Law Review

Since all marine fisheries are either shared or shareable and constitute a renewable resource, broad policy problems of fishery use, both by "have" and "have not" fishing states, always have an international aspect and involve considerations of both development and conservation. In few areas of international law is the challenge to our reason and imagination so acute; and seldom do jurists so obviously require the services of the natural sciences. Yet fishery science, now engaging a small but growing number of specialists from biology and related disciplines, is still unable to provide an adequate factual basis for the sophisticated articulation …

Aspects Of Internal Decision-Making Processes In Intergovernmental Fishery Commissions, William T. Burke

Washington Law Review

The purpose of this paper is to examine certain aspects of the decision-making processes of intergovernmental institutions established for regulating interactions in the exploitation of ocean fisheries. The aspects selected are those denominated as internal constitutional arrangements; embracing, more specifically, the grant of capacity to the group, membership provisions, structure, objectives, and distribution of certain authority functions within the commissions. Very little attention is devoted to the external decision-making process involving the fishery commissions with other participants, including members and other public or private entities which a more comprehensive study would embrace. Fortunately, in light of anticipated developments in world …

The Conference On The Law Of The Sea: A Report, Charles Swan, James Ueberhorst

Michigan Law Review

From the viewpoint of the United States, far too much attention was given by many delegates to the political aspects of the articles and too little attention to the legal. Many of the new and the underdeveloped States adopted the position that rules established before they were able to influence their formulation should be changed as a matter of progress. They viewed some aspects of freedom of the high seas as a fiction invented by the maritime nations to rob them of their living resources off their coasts.

International Law - Treaties - Inclusion Of Purely Domestic Matters In Reservations, Peter H. Hay S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

In consenting to the ratification of the treaty between the United States and Canada concerning uses of the waters of the Niagara River, the Senate attached a reservation which stated that "no project for redevelopment of the United States' share of such waters shall be undertaken until it be specifically authorized by Act of Congress." On the basis of this reservation, the Federal Power Commission denied the application of the Power Authority of the State of New York for a license under the Federal Power Act covering the new flow of water made available under the treaty. On appeal to …
