The right to self-determination, in my mind, however, isn't a human right, and is to some extent arbitrary.<BR/><BR/>Also, the real purpose of self-determination is to establish stable situations in which violations of human rights aren't likely in the future. The troubling part of this is that some standards that make sense for determining if a region meets those critera seem to encourage human rights violations, and finding a way to discourage this incentive is important.Andrew Oh-Willekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537151821869153861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1149702054375025172006-06-07T11:40:00.000-06:002006-06-07T11:40:00.000-06:00Interesting and well though out observations.But t...Interesting and well though out observations.<BR/><BR/>But there is one thing I disagree with - the idea that human rights are somehow arbitrary depending on whether elements of one ethnic group has violated human rights in the past. Im not certain whether this is your view or your view of how you believe the powers that be see the situation.<BR/><BR/>The whole concept of human rights suggests universality, not that some deserve them more than others.<BR/><BR/>BestBg anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684283179829016790noreply@blogger.com
