Self-Determination of Peoples: A Legal Reappraisal

Antonio Cassese · Cambridge University Press (1995)

tlte-cite:cassese-self-determination-1995

Editorial gloss

The standard treatise. Cassese's five-element test for the emergence of a remedial-secession claim — (1) the entity is a 'people'; (2) the parent state denies all internal self-determination; (3) the denial is accompanied by serious and systematic human-rights violations; (4) all peaceful remedies have been exhausted; (5) the secession does not threaten the territorial integrity of states unconnected to the violation — is the most-cited scholarly formulation. Cassese himself marks the test as doctrinal proposal, not lex lata.
