CONTEXT: Quebec Sovereignty and Canadian National Unity in Supreme Court hands Supreme Court of Canada to inquire about the legality
of Québec secession:
Under the Constitution of Canada,
can the National Assembly, legislature or government of Québec effect
the secession of Québec from Canada unilaterally? Does international law give the
National Assembly, legislature or government of Québec the right
to effect the secession of Québec from Canada unilaterally? In this
regard, is there a right to self-determination under international law
that would give the National Assembly, legislature or government of Québec
the right to effect the secession of Québec from Canada unilaterally? In the event of a conflict between
domestic and international law on the right of the National Assembly, legislature
or government of Québec to effect the secession of Québec
from Canada unilaterally, which would take precedence in Canada?
