Resolving Claims to Self-Determination

<p>This book explores the relationship between recognition statehood and self-determination showing how self-determination continues to be relevant. The book considers how and why unresolved questions of self-determination have the potential to become violent in part because there are currently no clear and fair ways to peaceable determine claims for self-determination. The book then goes on to investigate whether the International Court of Justice as the primary judicial organ of the United Nations could successfully resolve questions of self-determination through the application of legal analysis and principles of international law.</p>
