The Antarctic Treaty and the law of the sea
Since the Antarctic Treaty was negotiated in 1959, it has undergone major substantive legal transformations as it grew into a multifaceted regime known as the Antarctic Treaty system. Many of those transformations stemmed from actions by the principal decision makers, the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties (ATCPs), as they adopted new strategies and values alongside binding legal agreements for managing their activities in circumpolar southern…
Countering Nuclear Terrorism
Nuclear terrorism poses a grave threat to national security, a fact dramatically demonstrated on 11 September 2001 by Al-Qaeda's attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. These strikes revealed the vulnerability of Western societies to foreign terrorist threats and underscored the real possibility that terrorist groups might use nuclear weapons against cities in the United States or Europe. This article analyses the nature of this …
Stalking the Legal Lexicon of International Relations
International Law: A Dictionary. By Boleslaw A. Boczek Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 2005. 477 pp., $110.00 (ISBN: 0-8108-5078-8). Words have particular meanings and convey particular ideas. But communication is neither simple nor straightforward. “‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less’” (Carroll 1954:209). This attitude that words should mean exactly what …

The United Nations and Terrorism
As the international community responds to the September 11 attacks and the general war on terrorism, member states in the United Nations (UN) must continue to address the balance between the rights of the individual and the security of the state. This study highlights the various roles that the UN plays in combating transnational terrorism through norm setting, codification of human rights law, as well as the drafting and effective implementatio…

Information Warfare as International Coercion
Worldwide interconnectivity through massive computer networks now makes states vulnerable to new threats. Foreign governments can launch computer‐based assaults, or acts of information warfare, on another state's domestic systems such as energy grids, telecommunications, and financial facilities that could severely damage or disrupt national defence or vital social services. Even realizing the new forms of computer‐generated weapons and changing …
Protecting the Polar Marine Environment
How can we best protect the polar marine environment against pollution? Leading scholars on environmental law, the law of the sea, and Arctic and Antarctic affairs here examine this important question. To what extent do existing global instruments of environmental protection apply to the Arctic Ocean and the Southern Ocean? Can the arrangements adopted at regional, sub-regional and national levels provide adequate protection? This book examines a…
The United Nations and Democracy
he UN has been maligned over the past decade for peacekeeping failures in Somalia and Bosnia and for being a bloated, inefficient, JL ineffective bureaucracy. Yet, at the same time, the organization has become increasingly active in promoting the democratic process around the world, particularly in developing countries. It is, in fact, not hyperbole to assert that the UN Secretariat has assumed the impressive role of inter national agent for demo…

The Persian Gulf War
Although the stability of the Persian Gulf region has been of rising importance since World War II, it was during the 1980s, when the Iran-Iraq War threatened to upset the balance of power in the region, that its importance became even more magnified. This collection of essays surveys the current state of that region, placing into clearer perspective the political, security, and diplomatic dimensions of the recently ended war. By reevaluating the…
The Rabta chemical factory fire
The fire in Libya's Rabta chemical factor in March 1990 may have been an accident, a hoax perpetrated by the Qaddafi government, or an act of foreign sabotage designed to set back Libya's development of chemical weapons. International law does not generally condone the use of force against another state except in self‐defense. Given the Libyan government's support for terrorist groups, its anti‐Western ideology, and its incipient production of po…
Terrorism
In search of an anti‐terrorism policy
During the 1980s, terrorist activities became a real threat to Americans at home and abroad. The Reagan administration's policy response to this threat was encumbered by several factors, both of commission and omission. Dominant anti‐communist ideological perceptions in the administration at times blurred the disparate causes of international terrorism and the varied motives of terrorist groups. The administration was unable to back up its words …
The Antarctic Minerals Negotiating Process
Since 1982, a select group of states has been engaged in a series of multilateral negotiations to fashion a regime governing the exploration and exploitation of minerals in the Antarctic region. Because of the controversy in the United Nations over whether Antarctica constitutes a portion of the “common heritage of mankind,” these negotiations have attracted increasing publicity, but their modus operandi has been left largely unexamined. The chie…

Reflections on the Lawfulness of Invasion
Grenada is a micro-state located in the southeastern Caribbean Sea, approximately 1600 miles from the United States. Its territory covers some 133 square miles—about twice the size of the District of Columbia—and its citizen population numbers around 110,000. Granted independence from British colonial rule in 1974, Grenada functioned under a parliamentary government until March 1979, when Maurice Bishop’s New Joint Endeavor for the Welfare, Educa…

Symbolic reflections of the environmental crisis
In the present age of burgeoning population growth, world‐wide famine, worsening energy crises, and natural resource depletion, two realizations have become evident: the earth's resources are finite; and the world community is very interdependent. This finity, the interrelatedness, and their implications for the global environment can be studied by using three models: (1) the environmental crisis model, depicting the impact linkages between crisi…
