Description
T.M.C. Asser Press The Principality Of Monaco State International Status Institutions 2007 Edition by Georges Grinda, Jorri C. Duursma
Founded in the thirteenth century, the Seigniory of Monaco's independence has been recognised by the main European powers since the Middle Ages. Its status as a sovereign State was recognised by the Treaty of Vienna in 1815, by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 and by treaties concluded with France in 1641, 1861, 1918 and 2002. A Member State of the UN, the OSCE and the Council of Europe, the Principality of Monaco is qualified as a third State in its relations with the European Union, although its territory has been assimilated to the European customs territory and it has given legal tender to the Euro. This book discusses the history and function of the Monegasque State and its public life. A must for all those who require essential information on these topics, the work also provides references allowing students or researchers to gather a complete documentation.
