Karin B. Schnebel: Individuelles
und kolletiv ausgeŸbtes Menschenrecht als Selbststimmungsrecht
How can anagreement between ethnic diversity and
political integration be reached? When is the decision of a group justified? In
order to analyse these questions, we will compare the situation of minorities
in a clearly defined territory with that of immigrant minorities. Moreover, the
necessity for recognition can be justified and as a result the need to live in
accordance with cultural and linguistic peculiarities. Central for the desire
for recognition is that a determinated self claims the right to determinate her own political, economic
and/or cultural matters for herself. This gives equal chances and thus equal treatment to
all people. Self-determination can develop to the aspiration of secession,
which is accompanied by conflicts. An open theory of selfdetermination shows
new perspectives for conflict regulation.
