500    Based on the author's thesis (Doctoral - University of 
       Leicesester, 2013) under title: The African territorial 
       regime : establishing its customary existence and arguing 
       for its augmentation by a right to egalitarian secession. 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
505 0  The Frontier Dispute case and applying uti possidetis to 
       africa -- The rule of intangibility of inherited frontiers
       -- The conventional obligation to respect the territorial 
       status quo -- The customary rule of respecting the 
       territorial status quoce -- The changes made in 
       international law by the African custom -- Current 
       justifications for secession in Africa -- Domination as a 
       possible instance for a right to external self-
       determination -- Towards a right to egalitarian self-
       determination -- Conclusion. 
520    This book challenges a central assumption of the 
       international law of territory. The author argues that, 
       contrary to the finding in the Frontier Dispute, uti 
       possidetis is not a general principle of law enjoining 
       states to preserve pre-existing boundaries on state 
       succession. The book demonstrates that African state 
       practice gave rise to customary rules of intangibility of 
       inherited frontiers and respecting the territorial status 
       quo that, respectively, regulate sovereign territory 
       transfer in Africa on independence and beyond. It explains
       that those rules changed international law as it relates 
       to Africa in many aspects, including the creation of norms
       of African jus cogens prohibiting secession and the 
       redrawing of boundaries. The book examines in depth the 
       phenomenon of secession in Africa, exploring extensive 
       state practice. Finally, it advances a daring argument for
       a right to egalitarian self-determination, addressing 
       domination in multi-ethnic states, to serve as an 
       exception to the African rule against secession.
