TENTAMEN INTERNATIONAL & EUROPEAN LAW
23 april 2021

, SELF-DETERMINATION AND STATEHOOD (SUBJECTS)
> PIL: STATES, INDIVIDUALS, INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIO NS &
JURISDIC TIO N

Self-determination = all people have a right to freely determine their political status and pursue
their economic, social and cultural development (art. 1 UN Charter).
 Internal self-determination > people want autonomy within the state, pursuing their political,
economic, social and cultural development within the state (bv. Provinces in Holland).
 External self-determination > creating an own independent state, this is the most extreme
case where an area secedes.

Criteria:
I. There has to be a colonized state
II. That state has to find themselves to alien (dominated by another government)
subjugation, domination or exploitation.
III. Third option: remedial secession: in case of extreme oppression and total denial of
internal self-determination

Right to self-determination > a right to external self-determination doesn’t necessary lead to
secession, they can also remain within the existing state.

Kosovo case > the ICJ had the opportunity to state its position whether Kosovo could secede in
accordance with international law, but refrained from doing so.
 International law does not contain a prohibition (!) of declarations of independence
 It is beyond the scope of the question from the General Assembly to discuss this right
 Id did not violate international law
 The rules are so complicated > maintaining stability!

SO: you can decide to declare yourself independent, but you don’t always have to right to self-
determination > then you have to meet the criteria.

State succession = the replacement of one state by another in the responsibility for the
international relations of territory.

Rights and duties of (new) states:
The clean slate approach > the new state is not bound by the former treaties and agreements
Exceptions:
I. Uti possidetis juris = geographical boundaries remain in force
II. Obligations under human rights & humanitarian law > does not impact obligation arising
from human rights

International law is different from national law > no centralized legislative and executive bodies, no
mandatory settlement procedures and no decentralized system.
17/18th century > first modern international law
It went from coexistence  cooperation > first law was more horizontal among states, now more
vertical and rules internationally.
