handle is hein.journals/polsvieu8 and id is 45 raw text is: POLISH REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LAW 2019, Vol. 8, Issue 1 Stefania Kolarz* REPRESENTATION OF AN UNRECOGNISED STATE UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW - EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARTSAKH Abstract: Since the late 80s, the Armenian inhabitants of Nagorno- Karabakh, a region situated within the internationally recognised borders of the Republic of Azerbaijan, have been struggling for creating their own state - the Republic of Artsakh. The fact that this self-proclaimed entity was not recognised by any of the international actors has not prevented it from constantly committing to intervene on the international plane, separately from Yerevan and Baku. For instance, it is the co-signatory of the Bishkek Protocol. On the other hand, it was refused participation in the core undertaking of the international community designed to settle the dispute - the OSCE Minsk process. The aforementioned situation raises the question as to who shall act as a legal representative of this quasi-state on the international plane? Azerbaijan, as the official centre of authority within the region, Armenia, or rather the separatist government of Nagorno-Karabakh? Keywords: Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Armenia, Azerbaijan, legal representatives * Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of International and European Law, Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, University of Wroclaw, Poland
