MEMORANDUM OF LAW DID THE ABM TREATY OF 1972 REMAIN IN FORCE AFTER THE USSR CEASED TO EXIST IN DECEMBER 1991 AND DID IT BECOME A TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION?* GEORGE MIRON "° I. QUESTIONS ADDRESSED BY THE MEMORANDUM ... 195 II. BACKGROUND ............................................ 195 A. THE THESIS THAT UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW THE ABM TREATY OF 1972 WITH THE USSR BECAME A TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE RUSSIAN * On December 13, 2001, President George W. Bush notified Russia that the United States is withdrawing from the ABM Treaty. President George W. Bush, Remarks on National Missile Defense (Dec. 13, 2001). tit http://www.whitehouse.gove/news/releases/2001/12/20011213-4.html. That announcementdoes not moot the need to understand how the extinction of the USSR in 1991 affected the ABM Treaty. Members of Congress who supported the continuation of the ABM Treaty may decide to file a suit alleging that the Constitution requires a Congressional vote to authorize the United States to withdraw from a treaty. In 1979 the Supreme Court side-stepped that question, when presented in a suit by Senator Barry Goldwater seeking to nullify President Jimmy Carter's disavowal of the United States/Taiwan Mutual Defense Treaty. Goldwater v. Caner, 444 U.S. 996 (1979). ** George Miron practices law with the fimi of Polivert & Luk, LLP. Mr. Miron served in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and in the Office of the Solicitor of the U.S. Department of the Interior.

  • How China Started the Second Sino-Japanese War: Why Should Japan Apologize to China?
    How China Started the Second Sino-Japanese War: Why Should Japan Apologize to China? By Moteki Hiromichi Society for the Dissemination of Historical Facts © 1 Introduction In the so-called "apology issue," which concerns Japan's conduct in China during the Second Sino-Japanese War, there exists two opposing points of view: "I guess the only thing we can do is to keep on apologizing until China tells us, 'The problems between us may not be settled, but for now you have sufficiently apologized.'" -Murakami Haruki1 "A grateful China should also pay respect to Yasukuni Shrine." -Ko Bunyu2 Mr. Murakami's opinion is based on the belief that Japan waged an aggressive war against China, a belief shared by many Japanese even if they don't know the reason why. This belief holds that the Japanese should be completely repentant over that act of aggression for the sake of clearing our own conscience. There are two major problems with this point of view. First of all, it rests on the conventional wisdom that Japan was guilty of aggression towards China. Many people will perhaps respond to that by saying something like, "What are you talking about? The Japanese Army invaded continental China and waged war there. Surely that constitutes a war of aggression." However, let's imagine the following scenario. What if the Japan Self-Defense Forces launched an unprovoked attack on American military units, which are stationed in Japan in accordance with the provisions of the US-Japan Security Treaty, and a war broke out on Japanese territory? Because the fighting would be taking place in Japan, does that mean that, in this scenario, the US Army is undeniably the aggressor? No matter how distasteful a person might find the US military presence to be, under international law, Japan would be deemed the aggressor here.

  • The Pacific War and Rise of China As a Major Power
    The Pacific War and Rise of China as a Major Power Liu Jie 1. Introduction Modern Chinese history from the First Opium War in 1840 until the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 is the story of a nation in decline, gradually losing both its sovereignty as an independent nation and status as a major power with global influence. In particular, as a result of the First Sino-Japanese War, China tumbled from the position of power it had retained in East Asia for more than two thousand years. The history of Chinese economic reform since the 1980s is also a story of the reinstatement of a nation to power. Since the turn of the 21st century, many Chinese have begun to realize that their country is a major power. The recent rise of China has affected the world in many ways. In modern times, especially after the First Sino-Japanese War, the resurrection of China as a major power was a dream of many Chinese. The Pacific War was a turning point in China’s perception as a major power. How should this turning point be viewed in terms of modern Chinese history? What contemporary significance does the Pacific War have for China? This paper looks at the steps taken by China towards its reinstatement as a major power through an examination of Chinese foreign diplomacy before and after the Pacific War, and thereby discusses the significance of the war for China. 2. Chinese Expectation of the U.K. and the U.S. Before the Second Sino-Japanese War escalated into a full-scale war, there were two major political factions within the Nationalist Government of China, one favoring Japan and the other favoring the West.

Research Project HIS – 105 Adam Woodside The Occupation of Japan: An Analysis of Three Phases of Development Introduction After World War II, Europe was war-ravaged and the Pacific islands were devastated. The impact was compounded by Japan’s previous invasions of China, Korea, the East Indies and more. Additionally, the numerous Allied non-atomic and two atomic bombings in Japan caused a need for physical reconstruction. The result of these factors necessitated massive efforts to return the Pacific to a state of normalcy. Another resulting problem that was facing Japan was the need for economic reconstruction of their country. One of the main efforts that was needed was to return people back to their home country. This is called repatriation. This was especially important for Japan as they had to bring their people home from the many countries that they had previously invaded. The Allied Powers also enacted reforms and reconstruction through a military government that was put in place in Japan. This helped build Japan back up economically and included several ratified treaties. This period of reconstruction can be broken down into three separate phases.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2013 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, Emiko and Haruichi Kato. Through the Kaleidoscope: Uchiyama Bookstore and Sino-Japanese Visionaries in War and Peace Naoko Kato, PhD The University of Texas at Austin, 2013 Supervisor: Mark Metzler The Republican period in Chinese history (1911-1949) is generally seen as a series of anti-imperialist and anti-foreign movements that coincide with the development of Chinese nationalism. The continual ties between Chinese nationalists and Japanese intellectuals are often overlooked. In the midst of the Sino-Japanese war, Uchiyama Kanzō, a Christian pacifist who was the owner of the bookstore, acted as a cultural liaison between May Fourth Chinese revolutionaries who were returned students from Japan, and Japanese left-wing activists working for the Communist cause, or visiting Japanese writers eager to meet their Chinese counterparts. I explore the relationship between Japanese and Chinese cultural literati in Shanghai, using Uchiyama Bookstore as the focal point.
