- Description
- Since the conclusion of World War II several new states have been created as a result of unilateral non-colonial ("UNC") secession. These include Bangladesh (Pakistan), Eritrea (Ethiopia), Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Serbia, Kosovo (Yugoslavia), and South Sudan (Sudan). Some well-known examples of attempted UNC secession include Serbian Krajina (Croatia), Chechnya (Russian Federation), Gagauzia (Moldova), Transnistria (Moldova), Abkhazia (Georgia), and South Ossetia (Georgia). These examples-along with many others-demonstrate that UNC secession is an important method of state creation.
