The right of self-determination

[CountArach]

Do you think that the right of self-determination establishes the right to form new states?

Yes I do, if a degree of autonomy is not granted to the people who wish to form their new state.

Who has the right to self-determination? Who are the "peoples" the UN Charter mentions? Nations or minorities as well? Who can tell the difference?

Well minorities are in fact the only people who would conceivably wish to break off and form their own state, so I do believe they are the peoples that the UN Charter mentions. I can't think of any way that a Nation could be defined as a Person.

What should happen if a minority happens to be a part of another nation in another state?

I have no problem with letting them form a new state.
