International Court of Justice - Macedonia and Greece

[Soldier of Macedon]

Well, it is now November. Does that mean we should anticipate the verdict within the next week or two?

[ProMKD]

Exactly what I was thinking. I think we have three scenarios:
1. The verdict will be 'put off' until the public stops caring about it (shouldn't take long)
2. The verdict will be read behind closed doors, then we will have to rely on politicians to tell us what happened.
3. There will some closed-door deal where we have to pray to God that our souls aren't signed away for us by a politician

[Soldier of Macedon]

ProMKD, check the first page of this thread:

The Applicant contends that in accordance with Article 11, paragraph 1, of the Interim Accord, Greece “has undertaken a binding obligation under international law” and that this provision lays down that Greece shall “not . . . object to the application by or the membership of [the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia] in international, multilateral and regional organizations and institutions of which [Greece] is a member”; the text provides however that Greece “reserves the right to object to any membership referred to above if and to the extent [the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia] is to be referred to in such organization or institution differently than in paragraph 2 of the United Nations Security Council resolution 817 (1993)”, i.e., as “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”.

As far as I am concerned, even if the vedict is in favour of Gruevski, it only means that he has further legitimised the use of the "provisional name" with the acronym FYROM. I can't believe these Macedonian clowns have taken Greece to court for not calling us FYROM. It's like a person taking someone else to court for not calling them an idiot.

Објавувањето на одлуката е одложено за почетокот на декември, само неколку дена пред министерскиот НАТО состанок, закажан за 7 и 8 декември, за да се искористи како дополнително средство за притисок врз Атина, дипломатски и политички да ја притисне грција да ја промени позицијата – пишува неделното издание на весникот „Етнос“.

That's a joke Kanal5, there will be no "дополнителен притисок" against greece. They don't need pressure. They have the support of their buddies who just bailed them out bigtime. You think these bailiffs will want to see all their invested money disappear, or anything else to go wrong for athens?

[DedoAleko]

Kanal5 didn't came up with that (even though I agree on that "joke" part: ).They quote "Etnos"

[George S.]

It's like winning the battle & losing the war.With a name like fyrom it's no wonder even the court can't decide about the name.It's all a waste of time designed to divert the issues away from the real issues.

Одлуката од Хаг не е воопшто задоволителна, а новата влада потребно е вешто да се справи со неа – порача лидерот на ЛАОС. Исходот од меѓународниот суд за правда повторно се најде во грчкиот парламент. И Папандреу и Караѕаферис со свои ставови.

[DedoAleko]

Македонија може да го добие случајот во Хаг, но само во еден дел, судот да потврди дека имало вето, но не и да ја принуди Грција во иднина да не ја блокира нашата земја - ова се проценките и можното сценарио за исходот од Хаг, според искусни правници кои ги консултирал весникот „Агелиофорос“.

Oxford University: Macedonia Wins Hague Suit vs. Greece

Oxford University: Macedonia Wins Hague Suit vs. Greece
Tuesday, 22 November 2011

This isn't the Hague Court, but the prestigious Law School at Oxford University simulating the lawsuit which Macedonia brought against Greece has declared Macedonia the winner.

Law students and a judge who ironically grew up in Greece voted in unison that in accordance to international laws and UN Resolution 817 resolution section 2 (1993), Greece broke the agreement between the two nations by blocking Macedonia's entrance under its UN name into NATO and other international organizations.

Although this was just a fictional decision by Oxford University's Law School who analyzes international lawsuits, it created an avalanche of reactions and insults in Greece's blogosphere at the expense of the University and Hague.

The ICJ verdict is expected near the end of November, or latest by mid December.

I only brought this up because i thought it was ridiculous but funny.

In particulor this; "Although this was just a fictional decision by Oxford University's Law School who analyzes international lawsuits, it created an avalanche of reactions and insults in Greece's blogosphere at the expense of the University and Hague".

Voltron.....did you play any part in this? seriously mate, its a fictional lawsuit, a simulation lol. Your people have serious issues.

[Risto the Great]

Now they should debate in Oxford as to why a country would insist on being called FYROM.

[Bill77]

Now they should debate in Oxford as to why a country would insist on being called FYROM.

Because they wouldn't find anyone to argue for the affirmative side for a debate.

I can't wait to see and hear their reaction to reality! Although the above response really doesn't surprise me coming from the European "State of Denial".
I think Voltron may have led the blogosphere rage!

Brat.....have you ever seen what a blow fly does after spraying it with insecticide? they buzz like crazy, spin around and bounce from window sill to sill, up and down off the floor, till they finally hit the floor for the last time and die a slow painful death. It would be a similar reaction. lol

Actually, i think above, i just described the ZEMBEKIKO dance.
