Explain Self determination

Self determination is actually the foundation of United Nations (UN) Charter. It is defined as a right of people to determine and to choose their own state and its territorial boundaries. For this purpose, a  UN  trusteeship system was  established. The  states  which  were  not  able  to  run themselves were therefore, entrusted to UN and were given total independence. In other words people were empowered to determine their own destiny by their own will. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Art 1 (ICCPR), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UDHR), United Nations General  Assembly  (UNGA)  and  United  Nations  Security  Council  (UNSC)  --  all  these conventions were based on the concept of self determination. Self determination is undisputedly a norm of jus cogens (the highest rules of international law and they must be strictly adhered to at all times). Self determination is accepted as a right but, it coexists with the law relating to terrorism. In order to obtain independence, a lot of strikes would take place which would lead to property  being  damaged  and  this  clash  further  would  create  ambiguity  and  confusion  on terrorism
