The events of recent history affirm the urgent need for a
satisfactory definition of the conditions under which a minority
within a state has the legal right to secede. Although the concept
of sovereignty has been progressively weakened, it still presents
the major theoretical difficulty in this area. There is currently
no source of international law that would give a legal body like a
court the authority to recognize the division of an oppressive or
illegitimate state into separate legal entities. This book
accordingly argues for a global system of justice based on a
domestic model of compulsory law. It considers some of the
technical, procedural and evidentiary issues that would arise in
instituting such a regime, and develops the conceptual framework
essential for the provision of legal remedies for gross violations
of our fundamental human rights.
