20世紀因民族主義的興起，間接地促成了世界上許多地區性的民族開始爭取獨立，其中包括科索沃、阿布哈茲與南奧塞提亞。然而，在90年代共產勢力瓦解時期，此三區域因為歷史地位的關係並未獨立成功，而開始與各自的宗主國持續發生衝突。爾後，世界強權與國際組織介入處理此三區域的問題，卻因為國際法缺乏一致性規範的情況下，使得問題一直無法有效解決，反而淪為世界強權勢力擴張的棋子。因此，儘管科索沃、阿布哈茲與南奧塞提亞的獨立條件相似，最後卻因為不同的支持勢力而產生不同的獨立結果。獨立後，此三區域也將面臨一些難題。 關鍵字：科索沃、阿布哈茲、南奧塞提亞、國際法、獨立議題 / The emergence of Nationalism in the 20th century indirectly promoted the fight for independence of many regional races around the world, including Kosovo, Abkhazia and South Oss- etia. However, during the collapse of communist forces in the 1990s, these three regions failed in becoming independ- ent due to their historical status, and conflicts with their Metropolitan State persisted. The world powers and international organizations hence intervened in an attempt to solve the problems. Nevertheless, without consistency in the norms of international law, the issues could not be unr- aveled effectively, but rather became a tool abused by the world powers for territory expansion. Consequently,although Kosovo, Abkhazia and South Ossetia's had similar conditions for independence, the outcomes were different as they each had different supporting powers. Eventually, these three regions will also face challenges afterg aining independen- ce. Key words: Kosovo, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, international law, independence issue
