In Disappearing Island States in International Law , Jenny Grote Stoutenburg examines the most relevant and pressing international legal questions facing threatened island states: at which point would a sovereign state disappear? Who could make that determination? Which legal status would its citizens have? What would happen to the state’s maritime entitlements and its international rights and obligations? Does international law protect the international legal personality of states that lose their effective statehood for reasons beyond their control? In answering these questions, the book goes to the root of a fundamental problem of international law: the nature of statehood.IslandsLaw and legislationSubmerged landsLaw and legislationClimatic changesLaw and legislationfastInternational lawfastIslandsLaw and legislationfastSubmerged landsLaw and legislationfastIslands of the PacificInternational statusIslands of the Indian OceanInternational statusIndian OceanIslands of the Indian OceanfastPacific OceanIslands of the PacificfastElectronic books.IslandsLaw and legislation.Submerged landsLaw and legislation.Climatic changesLaw and legislation.International law.IslandsLaw and legislation.Submerged landsLaw and legislation.341.4/2Grote Stoutenburg Jenny1034546NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910493669203321Disappearing island states in international law2453742UNINA
