| Abstract [eng] |
The master's thesis studies the impact of climate change on statehood in terms of international law. In this regard, significant international legal acts, legal doctrine and interpretations provided in the jurisprudence of international dispute resolution institutions (International Court of Justice, Permanent Court of Arbitration, International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea) are analyzed. Accordingly, this thesis discusses the criteria of statehood established in the Montevideo Convention, reveals the content of these criteria and the impact of climate change on each of the composite criteria of statehood. The interaction of natural phenomena associated with global warming and state borders is examined, as well as the impact of the climate crisis on the internal and external sovereignty of states, and the changes in the classical concept of sovereignty determined by the latter phenomena. The master's thesis also examines the issues of climate change and the delimitation of maritime spaces, and the impact of global warming on the territorial regimes of the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The multifaceted socio-economic impacts of climate change are assessed, as well as the impact of these impacts and the implementation of commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change measures on statehood. The paper analyses the international legal status of climate refugees, the relationship between climate migration and statehood, and the sovereignty of states. |
