These records are under the jurisdiction of the Legislative and Diplomatic Branch of the Civil Archives, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C., where they are housed. UFA has published these records in cooperation with the National Archives. The Central Files of the General Records of the Department of State contain the bulk of the records accessed in Record Group 59—some 82 percent of this Record Group, according to a National Archives estimate. The Central Files contain all instructions sent to and all correspondence received from diplomatic posts abroad by the Department of State. In addition, most of the State Department's internal documentation as well as correspondence between the State Department and other federal departments and agencies, Congress, and private individuals and organizations are included in the Central Files. The records filmed from the Central Files for this collection are from the Internal and Foreign Affairs subject classifications of the Central Files. They include telegrams, airgrams, instructions, inquiries, studies, memoranda, situ- ation reports, translations, special reports, plans, and official and unofficial correspondence. These documents illustrate the political system, government, judiciary, laws, military, customs, economy, finance, agriculture, natural resources, industry, communications, media and relations between British Africa, British South Africa, Rhodesia, Basutoland, Bechuanaland, British West Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, British Togoland, Sierra Leone, Gambia, British East Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Zanzibar, Somaliland, Nyasaland, Sudan, British Southwest Africa, and other nations. Because of the broad scope of these records, they both supple- ment and complement the coverage offered by the Department of State's own Foreign Relations of the United States series. This collection has been microfilmed directly from the records held at the National Archives, Washington, D.C. As such, the records reproduced herein represent the best available copies.

  • Uti Possidetis Juris, and the Borders of Israel
    PALESTINE, UTI POSSIDETIS JURIS, AND THE BORDERS OF ISRAEL Abraham Bell* & Eugene Kontorovich** Israel’s borders and territorial scope are a source of seemingly endless debate. Remarkably, despite the intensity of the debates, little attention has been paid to the relevance of the doctrine of uti possidetis juris to resolving legal aspects of the border dispute. Uti possidetis juris is widely acknowledged as the doctrine of customary international law that is central to determining territorial sovereignty in the era of decolonization. The doctrine provides that emerging states presumptively inherit their pre-independence administrative boundaries. Applied to the case of Israel, uti possidetis juris would dictate that Israel inherit the boundaries of the Mandate of Palestine as they existed in May, 1948. The doctrine would thus support Israeli claims to any or all of the currently hotly disputed areas of Jerusalem (including East Jerusalem), the West Bank, and even potentially the Gaza Strip (though not the Golan Heights).

Today, some indigenes of the two territories are protesting against the unions and are advocating separation. This study, based on secondary sources, examines the similarities and differences between the two secession movements arguing that their similar colonial history played in favour of today’s conflicts and that the violent, bloody and more advanced conflict in Cameroon is inspiring the movement in favour of an independent Western Togoland in Ghana. It reveals that colonial identities are unfortunately still very strong in Africa and may continue to obstruct political integration on the continent for a long time. Key Words: Anglophones, Cameroon, Ghana, Secession, Togolanders, I. INTRODUCTION In July1884, Germany annexed Togoland and Kamerun (Cameroon). When the First World War started in Europe, Anglo-French forces invaded Togoland and Cameroon and defeated German troops in these colonies. In 1916, Togoland was partitioned into British Togoland and French Togoland while Cameroon was also partitioned like Togoland into two unequal portions of British Cameroons and French Cameroun.

  • Territorial Claims As a Limitation to the Right of Self-Determination in the Context of the Falkland Islands Dispute
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 6, Issue 3 1982 Article 3 Territorial Claims as a Limitation to the Right of Self-Determination in the Context of the Falkland Islands Dispute Alejandro Schwed∗ ∗ Copyright c 1982 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Territorial Claims as a Limitation to the Right of Self-Determination in the Context of the Falkland Islands Dispute Alejandro Schwed Abstract This Note will trace the development and present status of the right to self-determination under international law and its applicability to the decolonization of the Falkland Islands. No attempt will be made to determine whether Argentina’s claim to sovereignty over the Islands is valid. The focus will be, rather, on whether the right of self-determination as set out by the United Nations can be limited and superseded by competing territorial claims. TERRITORIAL CLAIMS AS A LIMITATION TO THE RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS DISPUTE INTRODUCTION The importance of resolving competing claims of nations to territories in the process of decolonization' was highlighted by the recent armed conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom in the South Atlantic.2 At stake in the Anglo-Argentine controversy are the Falkland Islands, 3 located 772 kilometers north-east of Ar- gentina's southern coast. 4 The Falklands are classified by the United Nations as a non-self-governing territory,, a term used to describe a particular type of colony. 6 The process by which the territory should be decolonized has become the subject of much debate and controversy.

  • League of Nations Mandate 1 League of Nations Mandate
    League of Nations mandate 1 League of Nations mandate A League of Nations mandate was a legal status for certain territories transferred from the control of one country to another following World War I, or the legal instruments that contained the internationally agreed-upon terms for administering the territory on behalf of the League. These were of the nature of both a treaty and constitution which contained minority rights clauses that provided for the right of petition and adjudication by the International Court.[1] The mandate system was established under Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, entered into on 28 June 1919. With the dissolution of the League of Nations after World War II, it was stipulated at the Yalta Conference that the remaining Mandates should be placed under the trusteeship of the United Nations, subject to future discussions and formal agreements. Most of the remaining mandates of the League of Nations (with the Mandates in the Middle East and Africa, which included: 1. exception of South-West Africa) thus eventually became Syria, 2. Lebanon, 3. Palestine, 4. Transjordan, 5. United Nations Trust Territories. Mesopotamia, 6. British Togoland, 7. French Togoland, 8. British Cameroons, 9. French Cameroun, 10. Ruanda-Urundi, 11. Tanganyika and 12. South-West Africa Generalities Some of the territories subject to League of Nations mandates were previously controlled by states defeated in World War I, principally Imperial Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The mandates were fundamentally different from the protectorates in that the Mandatory power undertook obligations to the inhabitants of the territory and to the League of Nations.
