ICJ: Kosovo: It is not illegal but I don't say it is legal

[Sarmatian]

Tell me how force was involved in the declaration of independence.

KLA, NATO, 1999, foreign troops still stationed in Kosovo etc... Declaration of independence is just a piece of paper. What it is based on, that's what's important.

I tend to agree with you position about anti-seccessionist forces having equal advantage, and like the ruling that limits international law in this sphere, it has no business here, but I now fully support the right of the Serb majority of north Kosovo to secede back into Serbia.

That's another problem. It seems that Kosovo, even if it isn't a UN member and fully recognized nation, can not have it's territorial integrity violated, even if its very existence is based on violating territorial integrity of another country... Go figure... And if someone dares mention double standards, it's gonna be "paranoid Serbia" again.

I agree. The double standard and utter hypocrisy on the part of the West in this case are downright appalling.
