We
introduced yesterday the main issues at stake when dealing with TERRITORIAL
DISPUTES. They range from strategic location of the territory to sociological
and financial reasons.
Today
we will introduce the many remedies that are available to deal with
international disputes.
Following
international public law, we have the UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY Declaration
on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation
among States (GA Res.2625 XXV, 24/10/1970). In what is of importance here, it
says:
Merrills
includes in his analysis of different means for dispute settlement:
- Negotiation
- Mediation
- Inquiry
- Conciliation
- Arbitration
- The International Court
- The Law of the Sea Convention
- International Trade Disputes
- The United Nations
- Regional Organizations
- A legal and political perspective on dispute settlement today
With my latest book, I attempt to put a theoretical solution to sovereignty conflicts. In Chapter 5, I present a classification of different solutions to sovereignty conflicts or disputes divided into unilateral, bilateral an multilateral. For a basic understanding I follow Beck (1998) and his work on the Falklands/Malvinas’ case.
Unilateral variations:
a)
Fortress
Falklands.
b) Integration and free association.
c)
Independence.
International/Multilateral approach:
a)
A NATO-based
Multilateral Security Approach.
b) A SATO-based Security Approach.
c)
United Nations
Trusteeship.
d) The Antarcic Solution.
e)
The International
Court.
Bilateral Approaches:
a)
Anglo-Argentine
condominium.
b) Shared dual sovereignty.
c)
Leasback with
guarantees.
d) A Sovereignty freeze.
e)
Abandonment.
f)
Titular
Sovereignty and autonomy.
