Nationalization of Foreign Owned Property and the Act of State Doctrine: Two Speeches

Abstract

American owned property in Cuba has given rise to a myriad of cases in the state and federal courts of this country. At the behest of the American Foreign Law Association, and at their January 1963 meeting in New York City, Professors Baade and Domke discussed these cases and particularly the controversial Act of State doctrine. The remarks of these outstanding experts on the law of nationalization of property are printed here without revision, except for documentation.
