American Foreign Law Association, Inc. President’s Report 1989-1990

American Foreign Law Association, Inc. President’s Report 1989-1990 PRESIDENT'S REPORT 1989-1990 It is a pleasure for me to present the report of my second full year as President of the American Foreign Law Association, Inc. It is indeed an interesting time in world history for lawyers involved in international matters. In preparation of these remarks, I reviewed the newspaper headlines from approximately one year ago to re­ fresh my recollection as to the dramatic changes which have taken place. For example, the New York Times on May 15, 1989 carried the headline, "A Million Chinese March, Adding Pressure for Change." Tiananmen Square was still to come. On May 15, 1989 in a story regarding the then relatively unknown playwright from Czechoslovakia, Vaclav Havel, the headline was "Czech Playwright Freed from Prison." On the same day, in another article in the New York Times, it was stated that "Very little popular sentiment for reunification exists today among West Germans. East Germany dis­ plays its own prickly nationalism, but it is not of the sort that would promote unification." Contrast the above with current headlines of the last week, such as "Poles, Czechs, Hungarians May Adopt Western Export Controls" {Defense News, May 14, 1990), or "Anti-Independence Crowds Storm Parliament http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Comparative Law Oxford University Press

Abstract

PRESIDENT'S REPORT 1989-1990 It is a pleasure for me to present the report of my second full year as President of the American Foreign Law Association, Inc. It is indeed an interesting time in world history for lawyers involved in international matters. In preparation of these remarks, I reviewed the newspaper headlines from approximately one year ago to re­ fresh my recollection as to the dramatic changes which have taken place. For example, the New York Times on May 15, 1989 carried the headline, "A Million Chinese March, Adding Pressure for Change." Tiananmen Square was still to come. On May 15, 1989 in a story regarding the then relatively unknown playwright from Czechoslovakia, Vaclav Havel, the headline was "Czech Playwright Freed from Prison." On the same day, in another article in the New York Times, it was stated that "Very little popular sentiment for reunification exists today among West Germans. East Germany dis­ plays its own prickly nationalism, but it is not of the sort that would promote unification." Contrast the above with current headlines of the last week, such as "Poles, Czechs, Hungarians May Adopt Western Export Controls" {Defense News, May 14, 1990), or "Anti-Independence Crowds Storm Parliament
