Event Description:
Remedial secession, a process whereby a people can declare independence, is a nebulous concept in international law and there are many questions surrounding its practice.
When can a people declare independence? What is remedial secession and when may it apply? What lessons can Palestine, East Timor and Western Sahara teach us about the Artsakh crisis?
Bringing together leader scholars and practitioners of internatioanl law, the panel will examine issues of external self-determination and remedial secession in the context of the recent Nagorno-Karabakh/Artsakh conflict. The goal would be to place the Artsakh issue in comparative perspective and survey the state of international law and practice at present on cases of remedial secession.
