ROADMAP

Your excellencies, The Federal Republic of Ghanern after sleeping on its


rights is now seeking this honorable tribunal to grant it a favorable ruiling
notwithstanding the fact that it s them and not Ryu that have disrespected
the basic tenets of international law. We are therefore seeking that this
tribunal declare that the Reif-Hirt Treaty is binding upon Ghanern, the
maritime rights of the Federal Republic of Ghanern does not include
reference to Sandicho and that Ryu has exploration rights over Toocan Shoal
under the UNCLOS

1. First, the Reif- Hirt Treaty is binding to the Federal Republic of Ghanern

2. Second the maritime rights of the Federal Republic of Ghanern does


not refer to Sandicho.

3. And Third, Ryu has the exploration rights over Toocan Shoal under
UNCLOS.

Argument

Your excellencies as to the first point we humbly submit that the Reif-Hirt
treaty is binding upon the Federal Republic of Ghanern. The principle of State
continuity must be given weight in this instant case. Under that principle the
change in name or form of government does not lead to the extinction of the
state. The state continues to be an international person. The change of
government does not mean that the State will die. What is affected is a mere
metamorphosis of sovereignty such transformation is limited only to the
persons exercising sovereignty. As such the treaties entered into by Ghanern
will still stand as binding even if it was entered into while it was a colony of
Sparica.

The Compromis under par. ____ state that Ghanernian Minister ______
represented Ghanern in the Reif-Hirt treaty. This fact alone evidenced that
despite being a colony it was entitled to leeway on how it will govern its
international relations. Being a colony does not mean that the Parent sate
has totally absorbed the personality of the colonized state. International law
endeavors to obviate the confusing effects that changes in sovereignty often
have on the legal status of treaties through the law of state succession. State
succession law explores the implications that mutations of sovereignty have
upon a state's international obligations. In determining whether the a treaty
entered into at the time when the state was a colony is biding or not the
fundamental question to ask is this: up to what extent was the dependency
of the colonized state to the parent state in terms of international relations?
