Would the U.S. use tariffs to coerce Canada into making territorial concessions?
We at CIFILE are looking at whether such actions violate:
✅ UN Charter Purposes and Principles (territorial integrity, non-intervention)
✅ WTO norms (forbidden coercive trade practice)
✅ Customary international law (prohibition of economic coercion)
Most significant legal issues:
Are U.S. tariffs linked to territorial claims illegal coercion?
How do we contest this under WTO and ICJ jurisdictions?
Which legal precedents (Nicaragua v. U.S., Ukraine v. Russia) apply?
Your opinions matter!
➡️ Should economic pressure to gain territory be treated as aggression under international law?
➡️ How can nations defend sovereignty without escalating trade conflicts?
Should you be interested in this issue and want to cooperate or share your opinion with our experts, don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected]
We welcome law specialists, experts, researchers, and policymakers who want to contribute to the debate and use international law to search for answers.
