Abstract
It is sometimes suggested that self-determination, as an International Law principle, has its origins in U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, addressed to a Joint Session of U.S. Congress in January, 1918. In its post-Napoleonic development, throughout 19th century in Europe, self-determination takes form of an invoking of spirit of Nationalism, in order to overthrow and expel reactionary foreign rulers; The Friendly Relations Declaration enshrines as one of seven cardinal principles of Friendly Relations (Coexistence), the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples as set out in U.N. Charter. The disintegration and eventual dissolution of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia represents a significant case study for testing ambit and extent of legal principle of self-determination today.Keywords: International Law; self-determination; U.N charter; Woodrow Wilson
