Abstract
There are two opposing trends in national self-determination: the separating, national libera-tion trend and the unifying, often imperial one. The right of peoples to self-determination is con-fronted with political and legal realities where territorial integrity is institution-alized. At the same time, self-proclamation is a logi-cal process of world history and international law, as exemplified by the increased number of independent states. To preserve their cultural identity, peoples seek self-determination and state sovereignty. Their readiness to make sacrifices for this purpose causes many conflicts while the territory serves as the mate-rial basis for nation-state sovereignty. The study shows that the current standards of interstate rela-tions are imperfect, and states use these standards for their own benefit when recognizing new states.
