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. 606 $aIslands$xLaw and legislation 606 $aSubmerged lands$xLaw and legislation 606 $aClimatic changes$xLaw and legislation$2fast 606 $aInternational law$2fast 606 $aIslands$xLaw and legislation$2fast 606 $aSubmerged lands$xLaw and legislation$2fast 607 $aIslands of the Pacific$xInternational status 607 $aIslands of the Indian Ocean$xInternational status 607 $aIndian Ocean$zIslands of the Indian Ocean$2fast 607 $aPacific Ocean$zIslands of the Pacific$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIslands$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aSubmerged lands$xLaw and legislation. 615 7$aClimatic changes$xLaw and legislation. 615 7$aInternational law. 615 7$aIslands$xLaw and legislation. 615 7$aSubmerged lands$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a341.4/2 700 $aGrote Stoutenburg$b Jenny$01034546 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493669203321 996 $aDisappearing island states in international law$92453742 997 $aUNINA
