Constitutive Act of the African Union, Article 4(b)

African Union · OAU/AU, Lomé, 11 July 2000

tlte-cite:au-constitutive-act-2000

Editorial gloss

Article 4(b) commits AU member states to 'respect of borders existing on achievement of independence' — the uti possidetis principle in its strongest treaty form. Relevant to the Eelam frame only by analogy: South Asia has no equivalent regional treaty, but Indian constitutional and foreign-policy doctrine has consistently invoked an equivalent territorial-integrity norm vis-à-vis Sri Lanka.
