"A nation is not an aggregate of anonymous individuals, standardized and interchangeable with any other people of any other nation. A nation has an ethnic and cultural identity, which is its property and which it has the right (and even the duty) to protect and maintain."
Abbe Grégoire Celier
Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn't be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps, one learns: if you belong to a successful nation, you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity, too bad for you.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Two Hundred Years Together (2002)
The Middle Ages were characterised by a total absence of centralised control over territorial jurisdictions - and some of the bloodiest domestic and international conflicts in history. It was the realisation of the sovereignty of the nation-state that ensured centuries of relative peace, progress and prosperity.
But today we are once again witnessing the rise of overlapping jurisdictions - only this time at the international level by supranational organisations such as the EU and human rights courts like the ICC. A continuation of this trend will lead to the abolition of the nation-state as we know it, while a resistance movement may ensure its preservation. The choice is ours.
