Final Activity Report Summary - UNLAWFULTERRITORY (Unlawful territorial occupations and the EU)
The project resulted in the compilation of material regarding the question of enforcement of international law against unlawful occupants. The results were laid down in a long article on the question of the relation between the European Union and occupied territories in the context of fisheries' relations between the EU and Morocco and their implications for the question of Western Sahara.
The article provided an exhaustive legal analysis of the issues involved in an assessment of the compatibility of the 2006 EC-Morocco Fisheries Partnership Agreement with international law, with special consideration for the distinct status of Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory (NSGT) and the principle of sovereignty over natural resources of the people of Western Sahara. A book on 'Remedies and enforcement of international law with regard to unlawful occupants' was still in preparation by the end of the project.
