Although Kosovo''s  Government coordinated every step with the  International Community, the unilateral declaration  of Independence made the process of the creation of  the State of Kosovo into a secessionist case. As of 30 June 2010, sixty nine States have  recognized Kosovo''s independence. A considerable  number of states maintain that the Declaration of  Independence of Kosovo is contrary to  the norms of international law. The absence of a  unified collective policy of the UN towards  Kosovo''s independence led the General Assembly  to request an advisory opinion from the  International Court of Justice. The author examines the legal positions regarding  the Declaration of Independence of Kosovo and  analyzes the International Community''s role in the  creation and recognition of Kosovo. The author argues that the unique circumstances of  the creation of the State of Kosovo should find a  reinterpretation of self-determination, statehood  and recognition corresponding to the needs of the  current developments of international law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838372136\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn examination of Kosovo''s statehood under International Law\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838372136","offer_id":39498963353693,"sku":"9783838372136","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b4d44e28-a705-46a7-852d-11e41d0980f1.jpg?v=1765348380","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/secession-statehood-and-the-recognition-of-kosovo-von-kushtrim-istrefi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
