The Greenland Annexation Scenario

This Verfassungsblog Spotlight addresses the legal implications of a scenario that, until recently, seemed unthinkable: the possible annexation of Greenland by the United States. The threats issued by the U.S. administration have become so explicit and persistent that they now demand a serious discussion of the legal responses such a scenario would trigger – across public international law, EU law, NATO obligations, human rights law, and Danish constitutional law. The contributions published in this section map the relevant legal frameworks, identify their points of tension, and examine the concrete options they provide for prevention, resistance, and response.
