Self-Determination in Disputed Colonial Territories
Self-Determination
in Disputed Colonial Territories addresses the relationship between
self-determination and territorial integrity in some of the most
difficult decolonization cases in international law. It investigates
historical cases, such as Hong Kong and the French and Portuguese
territories in India, as well as cases that remain very much alive
today, such as the Western Sahara, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands and
the Chagos Islands. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of
colonial territories that are, or have been, the subject of adverse
third-party claims, invariably by their neighbouring states.
Self-Determination in Disputed Colonial Territories takes a contextual,
historical approach to mapping the existing law and will be of interest
to international lawyers, as well as scholars of international relations
and students of the history of decolonization.
