The Right of Self-Determination in International Law, prepared by Cleaver Fulton & Rankin, Solicitors, Belfast

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, prepared by Cleaver Fulton & Rankin, Solicitors, Belfast, discusses the principle of self-determination in international law, referencing the United Nations Charter and various General Assembly resolutions. It emphasizes that self-determination is a fundamental principle enshrined in the UN Charter, promoting the right of peoples to determine their political status and pursue economic, social, and cultural development without external interference. The document highlights the importance of this principle in maintaining international peace and security, and criticizes the UK and Irish governments for not adequately informing their populations about these principles. It also addresses the complexities and limitations of self-determination, including its relationship with state sovereignty, non-intervention, and the prohibition of secessionist movements within sovereign states.
