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."
