搁茅蝉耻尘茅
[En anglais seulement] The lecture will give an overview of the Cyprus problem and the various legal and political complexities that have precluded its overdue settlement. It will discuss the various aspects of the problem (use of force, non-recognition, the rights of displaced persons) from the perspective of international law by reference to the interplay between the principle of legality and the principle of effectiveness. It will focus on the basic parameters of an eventual settlement on the basis of a bicommunal and bizonal federation that have been agreed by the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots and endorsed by the United Nations and will present the legal and other challenges of transforming the Republic of Cyprus into a federal state.听
