Abstract

The article examines the evolving concept of self-determination through the lens of the Kosovo Status Settlement and its implications for the Tibet Question. It argues that the Kosovo case, despite being deemed sui generis, sets a precedent that could influence the interpretation of self-determination in other contexts, particularly in Tibet, where autonomy and independence have been contentious issues. The analysis highlights the tension between territorial integrity and human rights, suggesting that the Kosovo precedent may offer a new framework for addressing similar disputes.
