[quote=Anonymous][quote]Anonymous wrote: Name two. With regards to Ukraine, in 1994 Russia acknowledged Ukraine as a sovereign nation and promised to respect its borders. I'm not sure what type of examples you want me to cite. I'll cite a few more specific situations, but I'm looking for the general principles to guide one's thinking on break-away regions. Here are some examples to consider: 1. Was it legal for King George to wage war on the colonies after they declared their independence? 2. Was it legal for Lincoln to wage war on the south after it voted to leave the union? 3. Was it legal for Serbia to wage war in an effort to hold onto Kosovo?[/quote] International laws regarding war were probably not the same (or didn't exist) at the time of King George and Lincoln. These rules (and the court at The Hague) did not exist until 1945. WW2 and the nuclear bomb made these rules necessary. The world has changed. [/quote]
