◈ Article 1(2) UN Charter: "To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;"
◈ Article 55 UN Charter: "With a view to the creation of conditions of stability and well-being which are necessary for peaceful and friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, the United Nations shall promote:
a. higher standards of living, full employment, and conditions of economic and social progress and development;
b. solutions of international economic, social, health, and related problems; and international cultural and educational cooperation; and
c. universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion."
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) holds that an intrinsic motivation, defined as being a utilitarian effort, out of a nationalistic objective, is not in itself an illegal method of acquisition.
Self-Determination is a legal way to acquire territory?

(COMMENT)
There are THREE Attributes to "Self-Determination:"
- What is the Law?
- What is the basic Principles?
- What are the grounding concepts?
THE BINDING LAW:
1. All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
2. All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice to any obligations arising out of international economic co-operation, based upon the principle of mutual benefit, and international law. In no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence.
3. The States Parties to the present Covenant, including those having responsibility for the administration of Non-Self-Governing and Trust Territories, shall promote the realization of the right of self-determination, and shall respect that right, in conformity with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations.
The principle of "Self-Determination" is an expression of the "Will of the People in a given Territory"
The concept of self-determination:
• It is a purely political principle concerning autonomy and could include the issues of statehood for ethnic or national groups.
• The "Right" is NOT absolute.
• The concept of self-determination has a political goal of promoting peace and stability.
Most Respectfully,
