Sovereignties
Luigi Crema
Visiting Professor - Spring 2022
Notre Dame Law School
This work in progress gives overview of some recent claims for secession based on allegedly emerged paradigms of self-determination, which go beyond the situation that crystallized after the breakup of former Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. The book resulting from this research will categorize the contemporary claims, assess the state of the art of international law in light of the historical context that shaped it, and make a judgment on the feasibility of an evolutive paradigm of self-determination and secession. In this presentation of the work, in particular, one of the issues that will be open to discussion will be the claims of self-determination based on the sovereignty of people as groups, and claims of self-determination based on the sovereignty of the individual.
