Product Description:
In the context of ongoing civil wars, armed secessionist movements, and minority uprisings, many conflicts stem from the struggle between a minority group’s desire for political self-determination and a nation-state’s resistance to cede sovereignty. As international human rights regimes have expanded, many minority groups have reframed their quests for self-determination, asserting their entitlement to self-rule if their cultural, linguistic, or ethnic identity is threatened.
This book delves into the intersection of minority rights, self-determination, and secession within international law, using the rise of Tamil separatism in Sri Lanka as a detailed case study. Welhengama and Pillay examine how Tamil communalism evolved into secessionist demands and analyze whether the Sri Lankan government has adequately addressed the Tamil community's right to self-determination without resorting to secession. The authors highlight the legal and human rights arguments used by the Tamil community in their fight for autonomy, illustrating how international law and human rights frameworks have influenced their secessionist cause.
Through a comprehensive examination of the Tamil separatist movement, this book provides critical insights into why modern nation-states are often threatened by separatist claims based on ethnicity and the complexities surrounding the right to self-determination.
