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 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.
