ABKHAZIA’S LIBERATION AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
ABKHAZIA’S LIBERATION AND INTERNATIONAL LAW E.K. Adzhindzhal Sukhum - 2007 Editor: N. Patulidi Editor of English edition: George Hewitt REFERENCES The essay “Abkhazia’s Liberation and International Law” is devoted to the part of International Law that focuses on the right of nations to self-determination. In line with basic documents of international law, the essay discusses the struggle of the nation of Abkhazia against colonial dependence on Georgia – for the right of its people to political self-determination and the creation of an independent state, following its liberation as the result of the Abkhazians' victory in the war imposed from Tbilisi. V.Mikadze, Candidate of Law --- E. Adzhindzhal’s work “Abkhazia's Liberation and International Law’’ discusses questions which are not limited to Abkhazia. Discussion of the contradictions between the basic principles of the modern international law: the “right of nations to self-determination” and “territorial integrity of a state”, attracts great attention at the beginning of XXI century. Undoubtedly, E. Adzhindzhal’s work will appeal to international lawyers, political researchers, practitioners in the field of international relations and policy studies as well as specialists in conflict resolution. It will give an opportunity to understand the essence of different processes connected with the problems of conflict settlement, especially in regard to the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict and possible paths to its resolution. Sergey Shamba, Ph.D. in History The essay is dedicated to the memory of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. “Those who refuse freedom to others do not deserve it themselves and, thank God, are not able to preserve it for a long time”.
