The treatment of civilian alien enemies, either in the national jurisdiction of a belligerent or in occupied territory, presents questions of public international law as well as of municipal law and administration. It appears that in some of the United Nations in the present war the problem of internment of such persons has become less acute as the tide of battle has turned against the Axis. In Great Britain, for example, the number of aliens of enemy nationality interned under the Royal Prerogative, and whose release had not been authorized, was only 6,123 at the beginning of 1944 as compared with 17,940 at the beginning of 1941.

United Nations Charter

The framework for the systematic registration and publication of international agreements on an intergovernmental level was set in Article 18 of the League of Nations Covenant, and later in Article 102 of the United Nations Charter. The purpose of treaty registration and publication is to give effect to the principle and policy of “open covenants”—enunciated as the first of President Wilson’s Fourteen Points—in lieu of secret diplomacy. In addition, these procedures serve to record “contemporary trends in substantive international law” for the benefit of judicial and government practitioners, scholars, and specialists in various fields.

Domestic Law

The United Nations (UN) was created by its founding member states when they adopted the UN Charter. Therefore, the legal authority for its existence, status, and possession of legal personality is derived from the role of states as lawmakers in the international system. This chapter discusses the meaning of legal personality and basis for its possession by the UN; status as an international organization; basis for legal personality; consequences of legal personality; position in international law; position in domestic law; what is covered by the legal personality; and the independent competence of subsidiary organs to rely on the UN’s legal personality in international law and such personality granted in municipal law.

Definition Of

This chapter examines the concept of ‘force’ as invoked in public international law more generally and in Article 301 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) more specifically, with emphasis on its application as an aspect of global ocean governance. Article 301 adopts the formulation of the prohibition of force contained in the Charter of the United Nations, but a variation of this formulation can also be found in the definition of ‘innocent passage’ contained in Article 19(2) of UNCLOS. The chapter considers the scope of this prohibition and the actions — or activities — it was designed to address as well as the occasions when UNCLOS envisages some form of physicality or physical interposition by States occurring outside their respective jurisdictions. It also discusses the threat as well as the use of force as spelled out in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, along with emerging themes for ocean governance.
