Karin B. Schnebel, MŸnchen: Menschenrechte als
Grundlage fŸr Selbstbestimmungsrechte
In international history the definition of ãself-determinationÒ has a
dynamic as well as a regulating effect. The main question of the paper is: Does
self-determination mean that groups are owners of special collective or group
rights, or does it mean that universal human rights are guaranteed as rights
which every human individual as to the same extent? Does guaranteeing universal
human rights suffice for reach or maintaining peace? To answer this question,
it will be necessary to look at the origin of the idea of self-determination.
Therefore we will analyse the points of view of Kant, Hegel, Rawls and Taylor; than their view will be compared with the guarantee of the
right of self-determination in the UN-Charta and contrasted with the reality of
national minorities in different states in the European Union.
