On the second issue, the paper defends restrictions on secession against libertarian and liberal nationalist approaches and argues for recognizing instead a primary right to self-government that can be sufficiently guaranteed by various federal arrangements for collective autonomy and representation. National minority self-government and the territorial integrity of a multinational state should be regarded as two sides of the same coin. Rather than viewing self-government as an internal application of a broader principle of selfdetermination, self-determination claims become legitimate only when self-government rights are persistently violated. This move leaves open the question which groups should be regarded as peoples with a right to self-government. The paper suggests that answering this question would lead to recognizing self-governing political communities below and above the level of independent states as subjects of international law. Three of the main international human rights document start with declaring the self-determination of peoples. While this notion is absent in the Universal Declaration of 1948, the first articles of the UN Charter and of the two Covenants of 1966 on Civil and Political Rights, and on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights assert a principle or right of self-determination. The idea that selfdetermination is a basic human right does not easily fit the general framework of human rights discourse. Traditional international law is basically about rights and duties of independent states. This narrow understanding has been extended by the human rights revolution after 1945, which has introduced individual rights and corresponding state duties. Yet the bearers of selfdetermination rights are neither states nor individuals, but ‘peoples’.

Antonio Cassese, international lawyer and author of an authoritative book on self-determination, attempts to close this loophole: “Plainly self-determination is the summa or synthesis of individual human rights because a people really enjoys self-determination only when the r","PeriodicalId":309630,"journal":{"name":"Global Justice and the Bulwarks of Localism: Human Rights in Context","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123194525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
