Revisiting Solidarity as a (Re-)Emerging Constitutional Principle: Some Further Reflections

Abstract

The International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion on the Wall and its judgment in the case between the DRC and Uganda came too late to be included in my contribution to Ronny Macdonald’s last collective volume. The same goes for the Report of the High Level Group of Experts “A more secure world: our shared responsibility”, the UN Secretary- General’s Report “In larger freedom: towards development, security and human rights for all” and the World Summit Outcome document.

A disclaimer applies. I try to be a general international lawyer. I can neither claim to have any special expertise in any of the branches I may refer to nor can I bring the pragmatic judgment of a practitioner.
