HALPERIN* INTRODUCrION It is only a short time since the Supreme Court of the United States commented that "[t] here are few if any issues in international law to- day on which opinion seems to be so divided as the limitations on a state's power to expropriate the property of aliens." I New doubt has been cast upon this issue from an unexpected quarter: last-minute ad- ditions to the texts of the United Nations Covenants on Human Rights. This article will review the history and apparent purposes of the new provisions in the hope that their "legislative history" will cast some light on their significance. Article 25 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (hereafter, "ESC") 2 and Article 47 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (hereafter, "C & P") 3 each states that "Nothing in the [present] 4 Covenant shall be interpreted as impair- ing the inherent right of all peoples to enjoy and utilize fully and freely their natural wealth and resources." On the face of the Covenants, at least two anomalies are immediately apparent.' First, the article in ques- * Associate Professor of Law, University of Maine School of Law.

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.

Translated by Enkel Daljani http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/114405 Summary: A report summarizing the history of the Korean Workers' Party since the end of the Korean War, touching upon leadership within the Korean Workers' Party and North Korea's foreign relations and foreign policy. Credits: This document was made possible with support from the Leon Levy Foundation. Original Language: Albanian Contents: English Translation INFORMATION ON THE KOREAN WORKERS’ PARTY In 1925 the Communist Party of Korea was created. But due to the anti-Marxist activity of the factionists and the opportunists, and the prosecution of the Japanese militarists, the party could not hold its ranks and in 1928 it ceased being an organized force. The anti-Japanese movement from 1930 up until the liberation of the country was not led by an organized party, but only by separate communists with Comrade [General Secretary of the Korean Worker’s Party (KWP)] Kim Il Sung at their helm. This is the reason why the liberation found the country without a leading party. In October of 1945, in the favorable conditions that were created after the liberation of the country, the Organizational Bureau for North Korea of the Communist Party of Korea was created. This comprises the founding of the Korean Workers’ Party. The factionist groups that brought about the destruction of the party in 1928 reappeared again later, especially after the end of the war in 1953.
