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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Customary law, International|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85034957|zAfrica.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001531-781 650 0 Uti possidetis (International law)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85141623 650 0 Boundaries.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85016091 650 0 State succession.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85127514 650 7 Boundaries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/837076 650 7 Customary law, International.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/885527 650 7 Uti possidetis (International law)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1163332 650 7 State succession.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1131918 650 7 LAW|xInternational.|2bisacsh 651 0 Africa|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001531 |xBoundaries.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99004860 651 7 Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1239509 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAhmed, Dirdeiry M., 1957-|tBoundaries and secession in Africa and international law |z9781107117983|w(DLC) 2015022571|w(OCoLC)910914879 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1105164|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
