For decades, self-determination was seen as a right of colonial peoples. Now the decolonization process has come to an end, its scope and meaning need to be re-examined. Increasingly, the ethnic groups within established nation States claim some separate political status. In extreme cases of persecution of an ethnic group by a ruling majority, secession may provide the only viable remedy to resolve the conflict. However, international law cannot promote a general `Balkanization' of the globe. The legitimate interests of all ethnic groups should be accommodated within the framework of existing States. Self-determination, which today is predominantly understood as implying a right to independent statehood, may have to be re-interpreted as conferring no more than a right to autonomy or federal statehood. Such a conception is in line with a modern tendency that highlights the necessary internal dimension of self-determination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Law of Self-Determination\u003c\/i\u003e is based on papers delivered at a conference in Bonn in August 1992 which have been updated and reviewed by the authors in light of the discussions following their presentation.","brand":"Christian Tomuschat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48271357313275,"sku":"9780792323518","price":331.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_a1850191-27b2-4f2a-8454-2235e56668cd.jpg?v=1770982596","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/modern-law-of-self-determination-9780792323518","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
