“…This would have required an elaboration on the conditions under which a distinctive group (people) has an international law-based right to secede from a state outside the de-colonisation context. 16 That is, under which conditions such a group should not confine itself to internal autonomy or other forms of self-government within the borders of a 'parent state,' but can claim full sovereignty. 17 In other words, the object of the ICJ's investigation was not the existence of an international-law based right to become an independent state.…”

This paper discusses the recent Advisory Opinion of the ICJ regarding the accordance with international law of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence in respect of Kosovo. Addressing the Declaration as an attempt to introduce in Kosovo a legal order different from the one that was established for this territory by UNSCR 1244, this paper argues that the Declaration infringes UNSCR 1244 and thus international law. This argument is based on a conceptualization of UNSCR 1244, and the legal acts adopted by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on its basis, as having a dual legal nature. On the one hand, they derive their validity directly from the UN Charter. On the other hand, they also function as the foundations of Kosovo's interim constitutional order. Against this background, the Declaration is here addressed as an attempt to overturn this international law-based constitutional order and to establish a new one in its place. Such an attempt cannot be normatively indifferent to the old constitutional regime, as the Advisory Opinion seems to imply. The ICJ, being an organ of the international law-based order, should rather address as illegal any effort to overturn the territorial administration that the Security Council established in Kosovo. In short, the ICJ has here a role comparable to that of a constitutional court, called to uphold the validity of an international law-based territorial legal order against any attempt to overturn it (revolution in the legal, Kelsenian sense).

Europa zählt gegenwärtig 47 Staaten, in welchen sich 353 Volksgruppen bzw nationale oder ethnische Minderheiten befinden, dh alteingesessene Bevöl-kerungsgruppen, deren Muttersprache in der Regel mit der jeweiligen Staatssprache nicht identisch ist. Ihre kulturell-sprachliche Besonderheit kann als Reichtum, aber auch als Problem gesehen werden. Hier liegt der Kern der Minderheitenfrage in Europa und bei der Bedeutung, welche die EU dieser Frage beimisst, ist zwischen der Bedeutung in der EU und für die EU zu unterscheiden: 1. Die Bedeutung der Minderheitenfrage in der EU: Mehr als die Hälfte der insgesamt 353 Minderheiten Europas, nämlich 191, sind in den 27 Mitgliedsländern der Europäischen Union beheimatet. Ihre rd 40 Mio Angehörigen stellen einen demographischen Faktor dar, welcher mit der Bevölkerungsstärke von Spanien vergleichbar ist. Nur Deutschland mit 82 Mio, das Vereinigte Königreich und Frankreich mit je 59 Mio oder Italien mit 56 Mio Einwohnern liegen deutlich darü ber, Polen mit 38 Mio knapp darunter. Empirisch spielt daher die Minderheitenfrage in der EU mit einem Bevölkerungsanteil von 8% eine gewichtige Rolle. 2. Die Bedeutung der Minderheitenfrage für die EU: Aus stabilitäts-und sicherheitspolitischen Grü nden stellt das Konfliktpotential, das die EU mit mehr als durchschnittlich sechs Minderheitengruppen je Mitgliedsland trifft, einen Risikofaktor dar, der von großer Bedeutung sein
