Boundaries and Secession in Africa and International Law. Challenging Uti Possidetis, Hardback/Dirdeiry M. Ahmed

This book challenges the central assumption of the law of territory by establishing that uti possidetis is not a general principle of law, and arguing that African customary rules were generated. It includes in-depth coverage of African secession, with issues of human rights law, self-determination and political science presented in a new light.
