  • Summary

    As to the sources of ius in interregno, both stable and evolving norms applicable to TG should be considered. Individual customary rules are germinating in relation to TG but not in isolation from the existing principles of self-determination and non-intervention. As to the evolving part of ius in interregno, TI may testify to the emergence of custom. Both domestic laws, unilateral declarations, intrastate agreements or international conventions can be taken into account. Socialisation explains why these and other instruments incorporate TG-relevant patterns. The effects of dominant discourse and mimesis entice a common (legal) culture accounting for both the (socialised) origin of, and (legal) compliance with, specific behavioural patterns. This fertile breeding ground also explains why such patterns are formalised through the adoption of TI, which may or may not be valid on the domestic plane: compliance with international law is expected regardless of how the transition was triggered.

  • On December 21, 2016, the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) dismissed an action brought by the Front Polisario challenging a decision of the Council of the European Union (EU) approving the conclusion of an agreement between the European Union and the Kingdom Morocco on the reciprocal liberalization of certain agricultural products. The CJEU held, based on the relevant rules of international law applicable between the EU and Morocco, that the agreement did not apply to the territory of Western Sahara. Apart from its obvious political overtones, the judgment is significant in further developing the CJEU's approach to the law of treaties and the principle of self-determination in international law.
