State Sovereignty, Self-Determination, & The United Nations
[ send me this paper ]
A 28 page comprehensive research paper on self-determination and the world's role in promoting independence. The writer examines Woodrow Wilson's original doctrine and the United Nations mandates that followed. State sovereignty is looked at both from an historical perspective and with relevance to the role of human rights today. Numerous examples and international case law are provided and it is ultimately concluded that unless a distinction between self-determination and secession is made and understood, the right of self-determination will either drag the world body politic into violence and chaos, or the principle itself will have to be considered one that has outlived its usefulness and could undermine the potential for democratic development. Bibliography lists approximately 15 sources.
