Of all the questions involved in the subject of international responsibility, reparation alone combines 1. The "duty to make reparation" in traditional inter- two distinguishing features: it cannot be considered national law without constant reference to virtually every problem or principle connected with responsibility as a whole; 4. In his first report (A/CN.4/96) the Special Rappor- and the diplomatic and arbitral practice, as also the teur endeavoured to stress the distinctly special charac- writings of the authorities thereon, are at present in teristics of reparation when considered in the light of a state of complete anarchy. As far as the first point is traditional international law. By contrast with municipal concerned, the " duty to make reparation " is, above law, where the institution is already perfectly defined g.11, an obligation stemming from the non-fulfilment in both character and function, in international rela- of international obligations; to that extent, therefore, tions it retains a close link with the idea of punishment it tends to merge and become identified with the very or penalty; in other words, with the idea of a sanction notion of responsibility. Since it is concerned with the or censure of the wrongful act which caused the injury resulting from the acts or omissions which give injury. It is useless to contend that an act or omis- rise to responsibility, that duty is directly related to sion contrary to international law has no other conse- one of the component elements of responsibility; and quence than to impose upon the State to which it is it is also to a considerable extent bound up with an- imputable an exclusively " civil " responsibility — i.e., other of those elements, for reparation often depends the duty to repair, purely and simply, the damage caused not only on the injury but also on the gravity of the by the act or omission. A study of diplomatic practice act or omission which caused it.

  • Blockade-Running in the Bahamas During the Civil War* by THELMA PETERS
    Blockade-Running in the Bahamas During the Civil War* by THELMA PETERS T HE OPENING of the American Civil War in 1861 had the same electrifying effect on the Bahama Islands as the prince's kiss had on the Sleeping Beauty. The islands suddenly shook off their lethargy of centuries and became the clearing house for trade, intrigue, and high adventure. Nassau, long the obscurest of British colonial capi- tals, and with an ordinarily poor and indifferent population, became overnight the host to a reckless, wealthy and extravagant crowd of men from many nations and many ranks. There were newspaper correspon- dents, English navy officers on leave with half pay, underwriters, enter- tainers, adventurers, spies, crooks and bums. Out-islanders flocked to the little city to grab a share of the gold which flowed like water. One visitor reported that there were traders of so many nationalities in Nas- sau that the languages on the streets reminded one of the tongues of Babel.1 All of this transformation of a sleepy little island city of eleven thou- sand people grew out of its geographical location for it was near enough to the Confederate coast to serve as a depot to receive Southern cotton and to supply Southern war needs. England tried to maintain neutrality during the War. It is not within the scope of this paper to pass judgment on the success of her effort. Certain it is that the Bahamians made their own interpretation of British neutrality. They construed the laws of neutrality vigorously against the United States and as laxly as possible toward the South.

Blockading the American Confederacy, 1861-1865:A Geo-Strategic Analysis. A paper to be included in a volume devoted to the comparison to the comparative history of blockages, edited by Professor Jean-David Avenal. INTRODUCTION Blockade, as a formal and systematic weapon in modern naval warfare, distinct from battle and maneuver, developed during the Napoleonic wars and was further refined by the Royal Navy in its decades-long campaign after 1815 to suppress the African slave trade (1). In spite of this extensive history, it was not until the Treaty of Paris ending the Crimean War that a Declaration Respecting Maritime Law, dated April 16, 1856, formally established the general principles of international law that would define blockade and abolish privateering, blockade's traditional response. Blockades were described in four short articles: 1. Privateering is, and remains, abolished; 2. The neutral flag covers enemy's goods, with the exception of contraband goods; 3. Neutral goods, with the exception of contraband war, are not liable to capture under enemy's flag; 4.
