Full textThis thesis revisits the classical doctrine of fundamental rights of States, and attempts to determine whether it was rightly rejected, or if it could now be redeployed within a more adequate legal framework. In contrast with the so-called relative or accessory rights, which find their source in customary and conventional law, the rights to self-preservation, sovereignty, equality, dignity and mutual commerce are conceived as fundamental in a material sense – because they are inherently linked to the Nation-State and, conversely, a Nation-State could not dispose of them without affecting its statehood –, but they are also conceived in a formal sense – because their violation implies specific legal effects as the rights of the affected State to invoke invalidity of rules found in contradiction of them and, ultimately, to resort to war. In that respect, while classical internationalists hand down to posterity a notable theory of fundamental rights of States, they paradoxically claim to deploy it in the international legal order, which is radically horizontal. Therefore, somehow resisting from doctrinal attacks, the theory of fundamental rights of States was finally abandoned in the second half of last century. Nevertheless, acknowledging the renewed doctrinal interest in state rights, both in international law, in European Union law and in constitutional law, in the context of an evolving international society, the point is to question whether these states’ rights meet the materiel and formal criteria of the fundamentality of rights. In a federalist perspective, namely an institutional protection of state rights, do States obtain, for instance, a protection of their right to survival within the United Nations and a protection of their right to respect for national identity within the European Union ? From a statist point of view, namely a unilateral protection of state rights, if classical internationalists correctly theorize that the alienation of sovereign and identity rights undermine the quality of a Nation-State, does the protection of such rights fall within the international legal order or rather within the national legal order ?

Full textWhat explains why international and regional organizations in some cases choose to cooperate during peacekeeping operations, while in other cases find themselves competing for resources and control? This thesis seeks to explain variation in coordination, competition, and cooperation between international and regional organizations in the area of peacekeeping. In the post-Cold War era, a number of factors—including the proliferation of increasingly capable organizational actors, expansion of mandated tasks, and increasing complexity of conflict—have led to the development of an international peacekeeping “regime complex.” This complex is characterized by multiple international institutions that exhibit overlapping membership, are actively involved in matters of peace and security, and are connected by normative and operative interaction, both official and ad hoc. In some cases, this complex functions smoothly, while in others, it does not. By examining materialist, dependency, and identity factors at work in the peacekeeping regime complex, this thesis explores institutional interaction and the drivers of both rivalry and collaboration in the context of four cases: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Mali, and Somalia. I hypothesize that organizations will cooperate when they hold complementary understandings of their roles within the peacekeeping regime complex, but will compete when these identities clash and overlap. Understanding these dynamics will not only lead to recommendations for more effective and efficient peacekeeping operations, but also contribute more generally to the growing theoretical field of regime complexity in international relations

Full textBeyond the debate on intergovernmentalism and the “communautarian method”, the positioning of the “Nation States” in Europe is a key factor determining the European construction and its compromises. Traditionnally analysed through geopolitics and power politics, the relationship between the States of the European Union is nowadays ruled by institutional cooperation and must be addressed by new analytical schemes such as cultural, sociological, economical and political differences between the nations. This thesis, based on diplomatic experience and academic works, emphasizes the role of the franco-german relationship regarding in particular the negociation of the European constitution in 2002-2003, the EU positions on enlargement and the relationship to Russia, or the solution to the Eurozone crisis since 2010. In the negociation of the financial perspectives, the positions of Member States is determined by the question of budgetary balances in which contributors and beneficiaries of the EU budget face eachother. More equity in the sharing of expenditures and resources could be a mean to get out of these tough negociations. EU foreign policy is another example of a policy determined by national interests, which didn’t prevent the EU to develop a common defence policy as far as it remains compatible with NATO and the US Strategy. Having revisited the European integration through these national preferences, this thesis questions in conclusion the links between the EU, the European space and the European power

Full textSince the end of the 1980s, under the aegis of the European Union, Corsicans and Sardinians have been developing joint projects aiming at coming closer together. The two island peoples seem to have discovered each other after centuries of mutual ignorance. Only twelve kilometres away from each other, Corsica and Sardinia have integrated two large nation-states, France an Italy, yet they have exchanged little. Whilst differing as to recourse to violence or involvement in politics, the Corsican and Sardinian nationalisms have taken much space in the political debate in both islands. These nationalisms, in addition to their struggle for language, culture, the environment and preservation of their "peoples", intend to promote regions that would be more autonomous from nation-states and closer to European institutions. Recently this project seems to be taking shape thanks to members of traditional political parties from Corsica and Sardinia. They have set up a powerful arsenal of lobbying tools within the framework of a real "island logic". The aim is for the European Union to better acknowledge the "island phenomenon" within itself, but also a greater emancipation of regions, especially islands, vis-à-vis nation-states they belong to. Will this geopolitical project serve the interest of Corsicans and Sardinians in the future ? Indeed, the upcoming widening of the European Union to CEE countries jeopardizes EU subsidies to Mediterranean islands. Moreover, the islands' leaders might soon discover that believing in an "island logic" within a Europe of regions or a future Mediterranean free-trade area could be a red herring. Three scenarios can be envisioned for the future of Corsica and Sardinia : a republican scenario, a separatist scenario and a federal one. But which one of the three will eventually be realised is still unclear

Full textThe European Union as such is not a member of the United Nations. In order to examine the means by the way it implements the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, it is necessary to develop the relations between international and community law. The analysis focuses mainly on the question of the international legal personality of the EU, the engagement of its international responsibility and the implications of its three pillars structure. Through the study of the particular characteristics of the CFSP (Common Foreign and Security Policy) pillar and those of the pillar devoted to police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the aim is to identify the impact of the different treaties, until the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon. The scope of the analysis is, furthermore, to stress the consequences of the construction of the relations between the EU and the UN on a three level basis. The implementation of the Security Council resolutions occurs, first of all, at the level of the UN, where the adoption of the measures is decided, at the level of the EU, where initiatives have been taken from the very early years of the European integration and, finally, at the level of the member states of the EU, which are directly concerned by the decisions taken by the Security Council. The extension of the fight against terrorism and the emergence of new measures in relation with the handling of crisis, offer the necessary material in order to try to identify the outlines of the relation between the UE and the UN, through the perspective of the protection of human rights and in respect with the jurisprudence of the CJEU and the ECHR

Full textWith the commitment of the European Union to act on the international scene within theframework of the United Nations’ multilateralism, the latter became an organization with which the EU intends to establish a privileged relationship. The two organizations developed an important field cooperation covering almost all of the areas of their activity. The purpose of this research is to analyze the relations established between the two organizations in their extent, by highlighting their dynamics as a whole. The dynamical approach is imposed as well by the evolutionary character of this relationship. It is shaped by the legal nature of the EU and the UN. If their relationship is governed by the law of the relations between international organizations, because of the unique character of both the EU and the UN in the international legal order, it is also characterized by an important measure of originality. As a relationship between autonomous but limited, by their competences, subjects, it appears to be as well a functional relationship, by allowing an articulation of the legal orders of both organizations and, through their collaboration, a rationalization of the means provided to them by the Member States. In this context, the EU and the UN explore in their relationship new interorganizational modalities

Full textThe analysis of the Cypriot problem because of the strategic location of the island and because of its proximity, takes on particular importance as Cyprus is part of the last wave of enlargment of European Union the 1st of May 2004. Cyprus is devided since 1974 between the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus (TRNC). The South under Greek influence is the only one to be recognized by the International Community. The North is under influence of Turkey which is the only country to recognize it and has a military presence of 30 000 soldiers. The United Nations, with the help of the European Commission, has striven to settle a solution for the division before the accession of Cyprus to the European Union. The last attempts failed like the previous one since 1968. The first step of our analysis was to formulate the bilateral issues between the two Cypriot communities, Greek and Turkish, by drawing the history of the Cyprus Island. We have also explained the problems between Grece and Turkey which relate to the Cypriot conflict, in order to work on the political and diplomatical aspects. It was important to have a reflexion on the different scenarios of peace established by the United Nations, to understand the role of Great Britain, to analyse French and German perspectives, to define the type of relations these countries have with Cyprus, to look at the advancement of the negociations for the accession of Cyprus to the EU and to give the European stand on this country before coming to our objective: to know if the accession to the EU can be a solution to the Cypriot problem

Full textThe demand and/or suggestion of an Africanization of peacekeeping in Africa should lead to the reform of the African security system. This is a normative and institutional reform aimed at giving a new orientation to the operational framework in order to enhancing the continent's contribution to the maintenance of international peace and security. This work has been carried out both at the regional level and at the regional economic community (REC) level, which are an integral part of the African peace and security architecture as built within and around the African Union. The most emblematic is for the AU to have a right of intervention where certain RECs, like ECOWAS, have already taken initiatives to respond to the most diverse crises including the genocide. On the whole, this is a significant step forward in the system thus put in place. However, it is difficult to see a typical African model of peacekeeping operations, as it is true that the two segments, operational organization and deployment, reveal a heteronormativity and a multi-institutional deployment. This is probably due to the fragility of certain state actors, which hampers any effort to build a strong Community security system, which in addition requires measures to (re) build the state, supported by international institutions, Starting with the first - the United Nations

Full textThe European Commission Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid (ECHO) has become a unique actor in international relations. Its singularity is defined by a progressive institutionalisation and a proper functioning within the European institutions. In particular, the study of the strategy ECHO has developed to fight malnutrition in the Sahel reveals the strengths, the weaknesses, the opportunities and the constraints of the European Commission humanitarian aid system. Indeed, ECHO has succeeded in promoting a credible and recognized policy to combat malnutrition. However, the security challenge posed by malnutrition exposes the European Commission’s vulnerabilities, which are heightened in the volatile environment of the Sahel. The lack of coherence of the EuropeanUnion external actions and administration are particularly constraining. Though, the authority and maturity displayed by ECHO, specifically in the nutritional dimensions of aid, has increased its legitimacy to exist and to be a key player in the humanitarian aid system. The added value it provides is based on the expertise of its staff,but also on a unique system of partnerships with specialized operators. Twenty years after its creation, ECHO has asserted itself and has a growing influence on the international and European scene, where it contributes to the construction of the EU identity

Full textThe Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) is the key element in the dialogue between the European Union (EU) and the Far East. Trade between the two areas has increased considerably since a cooperation agreement was concluded in 1980. The establishment of this trade is furthered by two factors, that is, political and economic globalization on the one hand, and the rise of regionalism on the other. Regionalism and globalization could be said to counterbalance each other. Regional integration in particular is a way of making a dynamic impact on the world economy and at the same time keeping a market in reserve should foreign markets prove to have a protectionist policy. This is why, in the context of its foreign aid policy, the Community grants aid to the ASEAN for its regional integration programme. In a world that has become a global village, disagreements between the two areas over social questions (Labour standards. . . ) will have to be dealt with

Full textThis thesis uncovers the importance of often overlooked actors and transfer channels by adopting a longitudinal and multi-level perspective on international norm and policy transfer. It examines the role of international organisations in the development of asylum policies and practices in Ukraine since the adoption of the first Law on Refugees. It shows how the action of international and domestic non-governmental organisations is interlinked with and differs from the sector-specific conditionality exercised by the European Union. In this manner, it enriches the findings on transfer from research that has mostly focused on top-down processes and political elite actors. It investigates the interactions and relations between state and non-state actors of the “transfer chain”, revealing logics of dependence, delegation and control as well as processes of translation, support and resistance. Analysing the support and subtle forms of resistance to the legislative adoption of international norms at the Parliament, it demonstrates that adoption is shaped, to a large extent, by domestic politicians’ pursuit of recognition and incentives by international organisations. Moreover, non-state actors seek to influence state practices by adapting their strategies to domestic resistance and structural obstacles, utilising confrontational and harmony-seeking, formal and informal, top-down and horizontal strategies. While norm entrepreneurs try to trigger the formalisation of certain changes, the effects of the transfer attempts on state practices remain heterogeneous and unstable. This thesis thus adds to transfer scholars’ widespread findings regarding the weak application of norms
