Οι Βρετανικές βάσεις ως παράγοντας ατελούς αποαποικιοποίησης της Κύπρου

Abstract

The article examines the regime of the UK sovereign military bases in Cyprus. From the evidence cited in the text, one can conclude that the operation of the bases today constitutes a classic case of the state of affairs designated by historians and political scientists as “post-colonialism”. Since their operation, the military bases have run counter to fundamental parameters of the principle of self-determination, whether in its classic version, as outlined in resolutions, rulings and decisions by UN organs and committees on former colonial countries, or in the form of internal self-determination, as attested by the institutionally acknowledged violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
