Bryan V. Itasca County, Us Supreme Court, William J. Brennan

US Government Documents Related to Indigenous Nations

This United States (US) Supreme Court case, decided June 14, 1976, provided clarity on the jurisdiction granted by US Public Law 280 in regard to taxation of the personal property of reservation Indians. In 1972, petitioner Russell Bryan, enrolled member of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe residing on the Leech Lake Reservation in Minnesota, received a notice of taxation on his home from Itasca County, Minnesota. Bryan filed suit to Minnesota district court which ruled in favor of Itasca County. Although US Public Law 280 does not specifically address taxation, the district court based its decision on US Public Law 280, …

The Turkish Aid Ban: Review And Assessment, A. A. Fatouros

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In this article, A.A. Fatouros places the U.S. aid-embargo to Turkey in the context of jurisdiction (executive vs. legislative powers) rather than in the context of ideological differences between the two camps. If, as the writer claims, the final concessions to the executive branch by Congress had been predictable, could we conclude that the executive branch is on the road to recovery? And if that is the case, is the Congressional ratification of the recent agreement between Kissinger and Turkey a foregone conclusion? There is of course such a possibility. To avert it, the opponents of the aid and the …

China's Use Of International Law In Border Disputes: The Cases Of India And The Soviet Union, Larry R. Schreiter

IUSTITIA

Despite American "containment" in the fifties and sixties, China was nevertheless a major actor on the international scene. The loci of China's practice of international politics ranged from the Bandung Conference to its ideological foray into European politics following the Hungarian rebellion in 1956. Along with this activism in the international environment, China turned her attention in the late fifties to the question of gaining mutual agreements with her neighbors on the delineation and regulation of the boundaries. This concern brought about some marked changes in bilateral foreign policy, and required dealings of both an ideological as well as technical …

Communist Chinese Attitudes Toward United Nations Membership 1945-1971 An Essay, Victoria E. Docauer

IUSTITIA

Let us here examine the question of Communist Chinese representation in the United Nations in the context of a broader question: the attitude of Communist China toward international law. Was it only United States interference which kept Communist China out of the United Nations? What is the position of Communist China in regard to international law? Has the People's Republic been the lawless nation that it is sometimes described to be? In an attempt to provide questions, one must examine those arguments which emphasize the lawlessness of Communist China and seek to determine the attitude of the Communist Chinese toward …

From Stockholm To Nairobi To Caracas: Route Toward A New International Law?, Lynton K. Caldwell

IUSTITIA

In the future, as in the past, one function of international law will be to formalize and clarify procedures to deal with emergent problems. The international environmental developments noted in this paper, e.g. global monitoring, supervision of the seabed, protection of endangered species, resource allocation, and many others, will require institutional arrangements differing from those with which nations have had experience. Innovation in legal principles and procedures is an almost certain consequence of such developments. Innovations in principle have been among the more obvious outputs of the international environmental conferences and programs since 1968. As these principles are translated, often …

US Government Documents Related to Indigenous Nations

This report from the United States (US) House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, dated August 14, 1974, was written to accompany US House Resolution 13157 which proposed to establish six new historic sites in the United States, all to be classified under the National Park System, including the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site in North Dakota.

America And Reconsruction, Thomas B. Grier

IUSTITIA

Reconstruction has variously been termed "repressive. . . uncivilized" and "a sordid time" as well as "a noble experiment." Reflected in those judgments of the era is the dispute over the effects of Reconstruction. To be more correct, one might say that there has been much conjecture in determining what, in fact, Reconstruction was. Questioned also has been the role of the black man during the period; much of what he did, or was responsible for, has, like Reconstruction itself, been subject to many and varied accounts and evaluations. The intent of this paper is to examine several volumes concerned …

How Citizens Can Use The Initiative Power, Robert L. Scott

IUSTITIA

The purpose of this discussion is to demonstrate how the initiative power may be employed by citizens wishing to pass a law independent of the state legislature. Although the initiative power is granted in many state constitutions, in the past it has been used sparingly. However during these days of political activism the initiative power has been given new vitality. For example, in the area of environmental law it has been employed by citizens groups in such states as California, Illinois, and Wisconsin to reserve greater individual rights against environmental polluters.

US Government Documents Related to Indigenous Nations

This court case, decided on January 17, 1972, established that the act of 1910 which allowed for the sale of “surplus” lands on the Fort Berthold Reservation after allotment did not change the jurisdictional boundaries of the reservation, meaning that the reservation proper still includes the northeast quadrant.

Authorizing The Mortgaging Of Tribal Lands On The Fort Berthold Reservation For Certain Purposes, United States Congress, Us Senate

US Government Documents Related to Indigenous Nations

The report indicates that the tribe had still not recovered from the economic collapse that occurred after they were forced to move from their lands due to the construction of the Garrison Dam.
