The end of the Cold War brought about new secessionist aspirations and the
strengthening and re-awakening of existing or dormant separatist claims
everywhere. The creation of a new independent entity through the separation of
part of the territory and population of an existing State raises serious
difficulties as to the role of international law. This 2006 book offers a
comprehensive study of secession from an international law perspective,
focusing on practice and applicable rules of international law. It includes
theoretical analyses and a scrutiny of practice throughout the world by
eighteen distinguished authors from Western and Eastern Europe, North and
Sub-Saharan Africa, North and Latin America, and Asia.
Core questions are addressed from different perspectives, and in some cases
with divergent views. The reader is also exposed to a far-reaching picture of
State practice, including some cases which are rarely mentioned and often
neglected in scholarly analysis of secession.
