Description

The National Law of Treaty Implementation John Norton Moore ISBN 9780890896471

The post-Vietnam era saw numerous constitutional clashes between the President and Congress over the scope of their respective powers in foreign affairs. One of the most significant of these conflicts concerned the interpretation and implementation of treaties, sparked by disagreement over the 1972 U.S.-Soviet Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. This dispute, famously known as the “broad-narrow” debate, became one of the most complex and contentious legal controversies in U.S. foreign policy history, dividing both the Executive and Legislative branches.

In response to this conflict, Professor John Norton Moore, a pioneer in the modern field of National Security Law, was asked by the Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) to prepare a comprehensive study clarifying the constitutional issues and attempting to resolve the legal dispute. While most of the resulting multi-volume, 4,000-page study remains classified, this volume presents an unclassified account, detailing the constitutional arguments from all sides of the debate.

Included as an appendix is the original Annex D from Moore’s study, summarizing the Senate’s initial consideration of the ABM Treaty, now declassified by the ACDA. This book is an essential resource for constitutional scholars, legal historians, and anyone interested in the delicate balance of powers between Congress and the President in the conduct of U.S. foreign affairs and the foundational debates surrounding treaty implementation.
