As Rhodesia, Namibia, the South African Homelands and Taiwan then were subjects of acute concern, today governments, international organizations, and other institutions are seized of such matters as the membership of Cyprus in the European Union, application of the Geneva Conventions to Afghanistan, a final settlement for Kosovo, and, still, relations between China and Taiwan. All of these, and many other disputed situations, are inseparable from the nature of statehood and its application in practice. The remarkable increase in the number of States in the 20th century did not abate in the twenty five years following publication of James Crawford's landmark study, which was awarded the American Society of International Law Prize for Creative Scholarship in 1981. The independence of many small territories comprising the 'residue' of the European colonial empires alone accounts for a major increase in States since 1979; while the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the USSR in the early 1990s further augmented the ranks. With these developments, the practice of States and international organizations has developed by substantial measure in respect of self-determination, secession, succession, recognition, de-colonization, and several other fields. | | Contents note: | Statehood and recognition; The criteria for statehood : statehood as effectiveness; International law conditions for the creation of states; Issues of statehood before United Nations organs; The criteria for statehood applied : some special cases; Original acquisition and problems of statehood; Dependent states and other dependent entities; Devolution; Secession; Divided states and reunification; Unions and federations of states; International dis-positive powers; Mandates and trust territories; Non-self-governing territories : the law and practice of decolonization; The commencement of states; Problems of identity, continuity and reversion; The extinction of states. | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=15699 |
