- Title
For Better or For Worse? The Forced Marriage of Sovereignty and Self-Determination.
- Authors
Ali, Nora Y. S.
- Abstract
The article discusses the tensions between sovereignty and a right to self-determination in relation to a struggle for independence in Somaliland, focusing on the jus cogens international law doctrine, theories of recognition, and the influence of Great Powers on Somaliland. According to the article, Somaliland does not have access to foreign aid because it has not been recognized by the international community as a state. The United Nations and Somaliland's democratic government are examined.
