Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: What is self-determination? When asked his opinion about a potential Islamic theocracy in Iraq, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld replied, with characteristic bluntness: “If you're suggesting, how would we feel about an Iranian-type government with a few clerics running everything in the country, the answer is: That isn't going to happen” . Whether he is right may partially be determined within the next few weeks, when Iraq’s new government is formed, and its ministers start debating what role to accord Islam in the new constitution . While some of us may want to distance ourselves from the reasons, moral or strategic, which underlie Rumsfeld’s position, it is possible that his abhorrence regarding the possibility of an illiberal Iraq is widely shared among Western citizens of all political persuasions. Must we accept a political regime which we find morally reprehensible if it is the product of the democratic expression of the preferences of the population ? This paper will consider what it means for a people to determine their own political future. The United Nations human rights Covenants of 1966 refer to the ‘right to self-determination’, a right belonging to all peoples to “freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development” . However, if such a right exists, it is not clear who is entitled to claim it and what they are entitled to. What is a ‘people’? And how can self-determination be justified?
