- Title
CHANGING SOCIAL ARRANGEMENTS IN STATE-TRADING STATES AND THEIR EFFECT ON INTERNATIONAL LAW.
- Authors
FRIEDMANN, W.
- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of changing social arrangements in state trading in different states in the U.S., and their impact on international law. The principle of international law is that foreign governments cannot be held subject to the jurisdiction of any municipal court of another country, because such jurisdiction would violate the principle of sovereign equality of the nations. However, it is stated that this rule has increasingly been strained because different governments are indulging in commercial transactions with international ramifications. It is mentioned that the General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade (GATT) formulates obligations for parties with operate their foreign trade through state agencies.
