Thomas Jefferson School of Law Professor William Slomanson, the
author of a widely used casebook on international law, traveled
this month to several countries along the East European/Southwest
Asian border known as the South Caucasus, lecturing on the topic of
"Remedial Secession in South Caucasus."
Accompanied by TJSL Professor Chris Guzelian and third-year TJSL law
student Mike Pehlevanian, both of Armenian descent, Slomanson also
met with national dignitaries in the Armenian-held Nagorno Karabakh
enclave inside Azerbaijan.
The South Caucasus region remains one of the most complicated in the
post-Soviet area, and comprises three heavily disputed areas: Abkhazia
and South Ossetia in Georgia, and Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan.
Several wars, including the 2008 South Ossetia war, Ossetian-Georgian
conflict and the Nagorno-Karabakh war have been waged in this region,
which for centuries has experienced political, military, religious
and cultural rivalries.
The specific focus of Slomanson's talks was the three South Caucasus
unilateral secessions, announced by South Ossetia, Abkhazia and
Nagorno-Karabakh.
