Is it a fundamental human right to ask for secession from a nation?

2010-12-01 7:12 am
Assuming a diverse nation that has more than one religious or ethnic community. The constitution of that nation guarantees equality to all its citizens and is a representative democracy. Is it a fair demand for a region which has a concentration of a minority community to ask for secession? Does it originate from fundamental human rights?

It may be fundamental. But is it beneficial? There may be merit, but I think just the opposite. The world has lived by this theory for all too long. People need to learn to live with others, appreciate the diversity, and be tolerant of differences. Your old philosophy promotes old hatreds, continues ancient mistrust, and embroils all in unhealthy competition. We see theses basics worldwide. In the middle east... muslim killing muslim. In Europe Catholic Irish vs Protestant Irish. Basque vs Spanish. In Africa old tribal hatreds have led to mass genocide every decade since I was a young boy.

All of these groups have more in common than not. These old hatreds are not solved by secession. It continues it, it enables the differences to continue. I do not know why people cannot take a bigger picture and be an Irishman first, a catholic or protestant second. Put down the hatreds, put away the guns. Live with each other... build rather than destroy. Work together and not apart.

If a constitution is upheld by all. Then all can prosper in a diverse nation created by the union of all it citizens. As countries tear themselves apart to serve the separate interests of its various components, the nations become smaller, less economically powerful, and weaker in every way. A population is more likely to prosper from strength, and not weaknesses.

National self-determination is a Wilsonian ideal, but it's always been dealt with on a case-by-case basis. I would suggest that it continue on a case-by-case basis.

It's not supposed to be necessary. States can go through the process as a means of symbolism, which is entered as record. There are numerous grievance procedures available to the American people, we just need better qualified individuals in those job descriptions.

edit: good question, Thanks for asking.

No it is not a human right.
