Stockholm Centre for International Law and Justice invites you to a seminar with
Dr. Jorge Emilio Nunez
on
Territorial Disputes and State Soverignty
In his latest book, “Territorial Disputes and State Sovereigny” (Routledge 2020) Dr. Nunez departs from the fact that many sovereignty conflicts remain unresolved around the world.
Current solutions in law, political science and international relations generally prove problematic to at least one of the agents part of these differences. Arguing that disputes are complex, multi-layered and multi-faceted, Dr. Nunez brings together a global, inter-disciplinary view of territorial disputes in his book. At the seminar Dr. Nunez will present his research regarding territorial disputes and state sovereignty.
He further reviews the key conceptual elements central to legal and political sciences with regards to territorial disputes: state, sovereignty and self-determination. Looking at some of the current long-standing disputes worldwide, it compares and contrasts the many issues at stake and the potential remedies currently available in order to assess why some territorial disputes remain unresolved. Finally, Dr. Nunez offers a set of guidelines for dispute settlement and conflict resolution that current remedies fail to provide.
