9781330612354: The Theory of State Succession

Synopsis

This book delves into the complex legal concept of state succession, examining the historical understanding and its continuing relevance in international law and colonial jurisprudence. The author critically assesses the prevailing theories of state succession, arguing that neither cession nor annexation truly encapsulates the continuity of legal personality. Through an analysis of treaties, case law, and historical examples, the book demonstrates that state succession involves a substitution of authority without any continuity of legal obligations, challenging the traditional view of universal succession. This original and well-argued perspective offers a fresh understanding of the intricate dynamics of state succession and its implications for international relations and the protection of individual rights.
