The purpose of this edited collection is to appraise the role of the UN in relation to the principle of self-determination. This book takes a very practical approach to discussing what role the UN plays in cases of self-determination and, importantly, it also ventures beyond this area's usual discussions of the inherent conflict between self-determination and sovereignty. The chapters address the pursuit of the right to self-determination through a variety of case studies, such as post-statehood in South Sudan and East Timor, Indigenous peoples, hybrid self-determination in post-intrastate conflict, the balancing of the human rights approach in Cyprus, remedial right to secede in the cases of failed states, Palestinian and Sahrawi resistance, geopolitics in Jammu and Kashmir, and the forgotten story of micro-states. Overall, this collection shows that the solutions might be in moving the paradigm beyond the state-centrism of the system and the UN itself.
