International Law, National Tribunals and the Rights of Aliens:

There is growing concern everywhere these days with the application of substantive international law rules to individuals as well as to nations. Indeed, after years of relative neglect, the procedural side of international law is coming into its own, a development that is as welcome as it is overdue. To readers who recall Morris R. Cohen\u27s observation that students of legal history know the truth of the statement that \u27the substantive law is secreted in the interstices of procedure,\u27 nor need practitioners be reminded how frequently changes in procedure affect the substantive right of parties, \u27 this trend is a particularly reassuring one. While recognizing that continuing attention must be paid to clarification and development of the substantive law to keep it responsive to the needs of an evolving world society, the Procedural Aspects of International Law Institute, founded in 1965 by a distinguished group of international lawyers, has embarked upon a major study of the mechanics by which international law is and can be made applicable to the conduct of individuals and states. This research project, financed by a four-year grant from the Ford Foundation, involves separate but interrelated studies of the broad areas of human rights, property rights, and, in a more limited sense, procedural rights (that is, of aliens before national tribunals)

Joint Ventures and the Law of International Claims

Joint ventures are one of the most remarkable post-World War II international business developments. Although the late Professor Friedmann noted in 1971 that they were becoming the most important form of foreign investment in the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America, only within the last two decades has the joint capital venture received more than scant attention. Now, whether one is interested in establishing a minority joint venture, in which the foreign investor holds less than fifty percent of the equity in the joint enterprise and the host country the majority interest, or a multipartite joint venture, in which a group of international firms establishes a joint enterprise in the host country, often with the participation of private local interests or the government of that country, the available literature to which one may turn for guidance is immense. Yet, understandably in view of the rapid growth in the number and complexity of international joint ventures, many problems relevant to their use remain unaddressed. One of them - the question of when a joint venture or a participant therein, injured by the wrongful act of a foreign state, satisfies the nationality requirement for purposes of bringing an international claim - is the subject of this article
