| Summary: | ACTIVITIES OF THE BADINTER COMMISSION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RECOGNITION OF THE STATES EMERGING FROM THE DISSOLUTION OF THE SOCIALIST FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA
The Badinter Commission was initially constituted by the European Community (EC) as a body of the Conference on Yugoslavia. This was done in accordance with the Declaration of 27 August 1991, which was issued by the EC in the context of its involvement in the dissolution of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). The Arbitration Commission, established in this context, was not vested with the authority to issue legally binding decisions pertaining to Yugoslavia. The Commission was originally established as a body to assist in the resolution of constitutional disputes and the potential restructuring of the Yugoslav constitution. However, it was subsequently tasked with considering matters of international law, including self-determination and state recognition and succession, and thus became a body operating in a consultative capacity. It was envisaged that the Commission’s consultative opinions would inform the policy of the European Community member states regarding the recognition of states emerging from the process of the break-up of Yugoslavia. The objective of this article is to ascertain whether the Arbitration Commission made a tangible impact on the process of recognition by European Community member states of states that emerged from the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Has its role been limited to the legitimisation, under the guise of a semi-independent, semi-judicial procedure, of the political needs of the EC states with regard to the situation in Yugoslavia? It is this author’s opinion that the nature and significance of the Badinter Commission’s work cannot be considered in isolation from its political background. Consequently, the analysis and evaluation of the Commission’s activities will be situated within the broader political context of the events of 1991 and early 1992.
