Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aland Question and the Rights of Finland: A Memorandum by a Number of Finnish Jurists and Historians The discussion of the Aland question in the Council of the League of Nations has recently taken a new turn which leads the undersigned to address to representatives of contemporary civilization a statement upon this subject. At the end of the year 1917 there arose in Aland a separatist movement, the object of which was to sever that province from Finland and unite it with Sweden. The latter country, which from the outset had given this movement considerable encouragement, submitted the question to the Peace Conference. The Conference having declined to deal with it, it was by the British Government referred to the League of Nations. The Council of the League subsequently appointed an International Commission of three jurists to make a report. This report was presented on September 5th 1920. It is to the effect that the dispute between Sweden and Finland does not refer to a question which is left by international law to the domestic jurisdiction of Finland, and that the Council of the League of Nations, therefore, is competent, under paragraph 4 of article 15, to make any recommendations which it deems just and proper in the case. The Council has adopted the report and has appointed a further commission of three to propose a solution of the question.
