text: (i) admitted that secession was progressive rather than a one-time, clear-cut event, which would mean that a secession turns into either a separation or a dismemberment (Dismemberment of States) once it has been approved by the pre-existing State; or (ii) accepted that, as a notion, it was hollow, in that it can never be said to have occurred with absolute certainty; in other words, that it is a negative term the elements of which are impossible to fulfil, and the spectre of which only serves to stigmatize attacks on the integrity of States.
