Critics Review
‘Individual human-beings, private businesses, not for-profit entitles and communities are often the primary victims (and at times beneficiaries) of inter-state territorial disputes and ensuing changes. Dr Marianthi Pappa’s book superbly articulate the failure of international law to meaningfully address the rights and concerns of these private actors related to territorial alterations and challenges the state-centred approach to boundary delimitation and demarcation laws and practices.
