man & society has universal values based on their nature.
II. Middle Ages – networks (not yet States) would interact with each other & had
overlapping layers with the Holy Roman Empire and Catholic church -> emerges
between Lex Mercatoria: commercial law & Lex maritime: General maritime law

Kennisclip II. Introduction to International and European Union Law - States
What is a state? Under international law
1. Permanent population
2. Defined territory = not strict on certainty
3. Government: has authority over whole his territory and population = internal
dimension of sovereignty (effective)
• Doesn’t matter what kind of government rules (dictator/demarcation enc.)
4. Capacity to enter into relations without other states
• independence & non-interference = legal independence
• External dimension of sovereign (effective)
Possible to interact with other states without being constrain from other states
Statehood
1. Does recognition play any role?
Constitutive view -> a State is such recognized by other states of international community
VS.
Declaratory view -> A State is such as it fulfils the criteria’s, as set out above, recognition only has
practical consequences = leading view
What about illegally created entities?
Ex injuria jus non oritur : no legal rights can arise from wrongful conduct
Ø If an entity was 2 become a State, and violets the norm of international law -> preventing
from becoming a state
VS.
Ex injuria jus non oritur: not always applied constistently in practice
Ø Bangladesh was freed from the Pakistani gouverment because of the oppression of their
people. By becoming a state they were liberated from the oppression

, Relationship between self-determination & statehood
Self-determination: the right of peoples to freely determine their political status & economic, social
& cultural developments (art.1 UN Charter)
A. Internal self-determination: people exercise autonomy within the framework of a mother
State
Ø Provinces, have also a part of autonomy to “rule” their atounomy and citizen choose their
“leader” + NL promise them that those people are also represented in general politics.
B. External self-determination: statehood
Ø Claim to become separate from mother state & want a “higher goal”
• Principle self-determination -> question “Can all become an independent State?”
I. Colonial rule & alien subjugation: whenever a state is under the power of amn other
state, it is, valid claim to become self-determined/indeepented state
II. Remedial secession: if the head of a State is in extreme denial that for other “groups” it
is extremely meaningfull to exercise internal self-deterination. = somewhat admitted
Ø South-Africa => apartheid (oppression)
è Difficult balance between; right of people to have their own state VS international peace
& stability.
• territorial integrity
ICJ Kosovo Advisory Opinion
International law does not preclude declarations of idependence, butr the court made no
determinations as to the right to secede
• level oppression of subjection -> Remedial secession
Statehood + new territory by;
è cession: purchase/swap of territory
Ø Boinare
è Accretion: created by nature
• Not artificial
è Occupation: terra nullius: effective control over ‘no-mans land’ was
going to the first occupier
• NOT possible anymore
è Res nullius: common areas where no states have a valid claim of sovereignty
Ø Antarctica
è Prescription: getting territory with the consent of the sovereign
state, for effective control
è Forceful territorial -> NO title to territory = ex injuria non oritur
Ø Palastine is occupied, does not give IS territorial rights even though they have ‘effective
control’
What happens when a State is replaces with others?
è Brand new entity
è Not bound by the treaties made by the previous state
Ø Sovjet-Union
