A Functional Approach To "General Principles Of International Law", M. Cherif Bassiouni
Michigan Journal of International Law
"General Principles of International Law" are among the sources of national and international law' which have long been recognized and applied in disputes between States.2 They were embodied in the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice ["PCIJ"], article 38 (I)(3), and in the Statute of the International Court of Justice ["ICJ"], article 38 (1)(c), under the terms "general principles of law recognized by civilized nations."

Legal Remedies And The United Nations' À La Carte Problem, Jose E. Alvarez
Legal Remedies And The United Nations' À La Carte Problem, Jose E. Alvarez
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article reexamines recent U.S. withholdings of its assessed regular contributions to the UN, as well as the premises and assumptions underlying the theory that a UN member may legally and unilaterally withhold payments for ultra vires acts by the organization. The issue is of considerable consequence since, despite recent rhetoric, the number of members financially supporting the UN through timely payments of regular contributions number only about half the membership, payments. These practices undermine the basic doctrine of "collective financial responsibility" and threaten the survival of international organizations. Reexamination is timely since the lessening of ideological divisions at the …
Soft Law And The International Law Of The Environment, Pierre-Marie Dupuy
Soft Law And The International Law Of The Environment, Pierre-Marie Dupuy
Michigan Journal of International Law
Because the existing body of international environmental law has, in part, emerged on the basis of "soft" norms, it provides a good field for observing the general sociological and juridical phenomenon termed "soft" law. The 1972 Stockholm Declaration adopted by the UN Conference on the Human Environment, for example, constitutes the normative program for the world community 'in this field. Although, from a formal point of view, the Declaration is only a nonbinding resolution, many of its "principles," particularly Principle 21, have been relied upon by governments to justify their legal rights and duties. The subsequent State practice has been, …

United States Compliance With The 1967 Gatt Antidumping Code, Robert E. Hudec
United States Compliance With The 1967 Gatt Antidumping Code, Robert E. Hudec
Michigan Journal of International Law
The 1967 GATT Antidumping Code (hereinafter the Code) may be viewed as an attempt to state an international consensus about the correct policy and practice of national antidumping laws. It is important to be clear about the nature of that consensus. National antidumping laws are not an expression of accepted economic theory about international trade. Rather, they tend to rest on more pedestrian value judgments about things such as "fair competition." These underlying value judgments are not necessarily the same from one country to another, and in some countries antidumping laws are not even considered particularly useful or necessary. In …
