Haklı Savaş Teorisi Çerçevesinde Kıbrıs ve Kosova Sorunları'nın Karşılaştırılması.

After Kosovo's independence, which is recognized by numerous members of International Society; a new wave of discussions started about the entities like TRNC, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Chechnya, and Transylvania, Quebec which share similar time of life with Kosovo. The main discussions re flamed from Kosovo's independence were essentially on real politics, contradictions to law, injustice and double standards. NATO's Kosovo intervention supposedly based on humanitarian ground, brought a new situation to be reexamined and re judged on not only ethical, political and humanitarian grounds but also on international law. Besides a threat to international security and peace, events in Kosovo were seen as a humanitarian disaster which can not be ignored. Because of this, a view emerged in academic and political circles which do not find it necessary anymore to discuss the issue related to international law. Results of this view which sees domestic or international law negligible or violable when it finds it legitimate should be evaluated very carefully. Just as NATO's Kosovo intervention and following independence, Turkey's Cyprus Intervention and following independence of TRNC caused great debates on International Law. Despite both the intervention and the independence have serious legal, political and moral grounds, it has not been accepted by the international community. The main objective of this paper is to compare two long standing issues, namely Kosovo and Cyprus, according to justice and international law. In the first stage, Kosovo and Cyprus operations will be examined through "just war" theory, and evaluated they suit the principles. In the second stage, "just war" theory and principles will be implemented to Kosovo's and TRNC's independence in the name of "just secession/independence". Arguments on both the operations and the independence decisions will be supported by international law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
