I need help creating a thesis and an outline on The Concept of Self Determination in International Law. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The following discussion demonstrates the validity of this observation.

Helen Quane argues that the right to self-determination implicitly validates the right of certain ethnic groups to reject territorial regimes.4 The theory purportedly protects the rights of minority groups and has the potential to create civil unrest with the result that world order is compromised. In support of her position, Jane cites several incidents of turmoil that resulted from the right of self-determination. In Kosovo and the Balkans, for example, the theory of external self-determination led to conflict and bloodshed.5 Quane argues therefore that principles of self-determination in international law should only be applicable when questions concerning the abuse of human rights arise.6

Malcolm Shaw provides a startling yet realistic possibility created by the doctrine of self-determination. Since the UN Charter recognizes the right of ethnic groups to self-determination there are myriad problems for internal conflict. Shaw points out that there are competing and diverse interest among different ethnic groups in a community and goes on to ask:

“Precisely which groups would be entitled in such situations to claim a share of the territory? The possibilities range from large indigenous groups and ethnic, religious, and language groups to cultural or political groups. How would one tackle in such circumstances the possible claims of groups within groups, such as for the sake of argument, religious groups within language groups in Canada?.
