  • CONCEPT of STATEHOOD in UNITED NATIONS PRACTICE * ROSALYN COHEN T
    1961] THE CONCEPT OF STATEHOOD IN UNITED NATIONS PRACTICE * ROSALYN COHEN t The topic of "statehood under international law" has long been a favorite with jurists. The problem of what constitutes a "state" has been extensively examined and discussed, but all too often in absolutist terms confined to drawing up lists of criteria which must be met before an entity may be deemed a "state." The very rigidity of this approach implies that the term "state" has a fixed meaning which provides an unambiguous yardstick for measuring without serious fear of error, the existence of international personality. The framework of examination being thus constricted, traditional inquiry has endeavored to meet some of its inadequacies by ancillary discussions on the possi- bility of a "dependent state" in international law, of the desirability of universality in certain organizations set up by the international com- munity, and of the rights of peoples to national self-determination. It would appear, however, that these questions, far from being ancillary, are integral to any discussion of "statehood." Even the language of the law-or perhaps especially the language of the law-contains ambiguities which are inherent in any language system, and the diffi- culties presented by this fact can only be resolved by an analysis which takes full cognizance of the contextual background. Thus, when ex- amining what is meant by the word "state," an appraisal of the com- munity interests which will be affected by the decision to interpret it in one way rather than in another is necessary. Discussions, for example, of whether a "dependent state" can exist under international law become meaningless unless there is first an examination of whether the community of nations would find it appropriate, in the light of its long range objectives, to afford the rights which follow from "state- hood" to entities fettered by restrictions which impair their independ- ence.

  • What Makes a States: Territory
    American University Washington College of Law Digital Commons @ American University Washington College of Law Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals Scholarship & Research 2012 What Makes a States: Territory Paul Williams Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu/facsch_lawrev Part of the International Law Commons What Makes a State? 449 WHAT MAKES A STATE? TERRITORY By Paul R. Williams* What makes a state? Under the Montevideo Convention, a prospective state must meet four criteria. It must have a territory, with a permanent population, subject to the control of a government, and the capacity to conduct international relations (sovereignty). Of these requirements, territory presents the major obstacle. Although the world has no shortage of groups seeking independence (who would gladly form governments and relations with other states), it does have a shortage of real estate. A new state necessarily takes territory from an existing state. Since existing states make international law, it is no surprise that the law is designed to make it very difficult for a new state to form out of an existing state's territory. Territorial integrity, along with sovereignty and political independence, form the "triumvirate of rights" that states enjoy under international law. From these rights, the notion has emerged that new states can only be formed with the consent of the existing state where the territory lies. The triumvirate of rights has long been the standard lens through which the international community views self-determination and the creation of new states. It has become increasingly clear, however, that rigid adherence to these principles can lengthen conflict and create negative incentives.

  • Draft Conclusions on Identification of Customary International Law, with Commentaries 2018
    Draft conclusions on identification of customary international law, with commentaries 2018 Adopted by the International Law Commission at its seventieth session, in 2018, and submitted to the General Assembly as a part of the Commission’s report covering the work of that session (A/73/10). The report, which also contains commentaries to the draft articles (para. 66), will appear in Yearbook of the International Law Commission, 2018, vol. II, Part Two. Copyright © United Nations 2018 A/73/10 Part Seven Particular customary international law Conclusion 16 Particular customary international law 1. A rule of particular customary international law, whether regional, local or other, is a rule of customary international law that applies only among a limited number of States. 2. To determine the existence and content of a rule of particular customary international law, it is necessary to ascertain whether there is a general practice among the States concerned that is accepted by them as law (opinio juris) among themselves. 2. Text of the draft conclusions and commentaries thereto 66. The text of the draft conclusions, together with commentaries thereto, adopted by the Commission on second reading, is reproduced below. Identification of customary international law General commentary (1) As is always the case with the Commission’s output, the draft conclusions are to be read together with the commentaries. (2) The present draft conclusions concern the methodology for identifying rules of customary international law. They seek to offer practical guidance on how the existence of rules of customary international law, and their content, are to be determined. This is not only of concern to specialists in public international law: others, including those involved with national courts, are increasingly called upon to identify rules of customary international law.

    The Trouble with the Trees: Can Community-Based Forestry Succeed in Panama and Around the World? Stephen M. Clare Department of Natural Resource Sciences McGill University, Montreal May 2018 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of M.Sc. Renewable Resources – Neotropical Option © Stephen Clare, 2018 Abstract Community-based forestry (CBF), a forest management strategy in which communities take a more active role in the management of local forests, has expanded quickly around the world since the 1990s. Since communities are thought to have local knowledge and a stake in the long- term sustainability of the resource base, CBF is theoretically positioned to produce more sustainable outcomes for people and the environment. Evaluations of CBF performance, however, have generally found mixed results. For many researchers, enthusiasm is ceding to skepticism, and more research into how CBF performs in a diversity of contexts around the world is needed. This thesis first reviews the literature on CBF’s theory and performance before presenting a case study of CBF’s current status in Panama. As a developing country in the tropics facing both high rural poverty rates and ongoing deforestation, Panama is viewed as a good candidate for CBF implementation. However, using an evaluative framework developed by Gilmour (2016) finds that the country is not fully ready on political or economic grounds to support successful CBF. CBF policy studies in other countries have reported similar results. Governments are usually reluctant to devolve power and communities often lack the technical capacity to carry out management activities.

However, some leading western jurists1 claim that there is a body of customary international law, based on firstly a regional treaty called the Montevideo Convention established in 19332 and secondly, a list of criteria that has been termed additional criteria for statehood. As will be discussed in the body of this memo, the application of what is termed customary international law could arguably be substantially the results of two decisions of the International Court of Justice in 19753 and 19694 and the writings of western jurists that promote the Montevideo Convention as evidence of state practice and opinio juris. However it will be argued that such doctrinal opinions are without sufficient reference to modern examples of state practice and legal debates about the requisite opinion juris. These modern examples may well require that any application of the Montevideo Convention take a much more nuanced approach that requires looking at the indicia of statehood through a different lens depending on the context in which statehood is in question.

Over the course of the past six decades, much has been written about the Palestine Authority's legitimacy as an independent nation as defined by international law. Debate has ranged between those who have argued Palestine's accordance with the requirements for statehood, and those who have vehemently denied statehood for the Palestinians. This note examines how the impact that a bid for membership in the United Nations, and a claim to statehood, will potentially affect Palestine's economic environment.

  • Sovereignty Sunk? the Position of 'Sinking States' at International
    SOVEREIGNTY SUNK? THE POSITION OF ‘SINKING STATES’ AT INTERNATIONAL LAW The Position of 'Sinking States' at International Law DEREK WONG* Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States provides that a state should possess a defined territory. Traditional definitions of the state also include this requirement. What, then, of a state that becomes inundated with water such that its nationals leave its territory? What are the consequences if a state becomes completely inundated and has no territory above sea level? Does this automatically result in extinction? This article examines the issue in four parts. First, it is observed that both traditional and contemporary definitions of the state include a requirement of territory. It is noted that the requirement has been loosely applied. Secondly, it is argued that mass migration of a state’s nationals does not give rise to the abandonment of sovereignty or a loss of statehood. Thirdly, the issue of state extinction via loss of territory is considered. It is contended that the presumption of continuity — while a useful consideration — cannot provide an answer. It is argued that the purchase of territory — short of cession — would not be sufficient to satisfy the territory requirement. Nevertheless, it is submitted that the state will not become extinct once there is no territory above sea level: international law would not tolerate such instability. Instead, a necessary legal construction would be imposed: a fiction that prevents the state from becoming extinct despite the first wave washing over the last rock. Finally, solutions proposed in the existing literature are examined and it is ultimately concluded that none provide a satisfactory or complete answer.
