FERNANDEZ DE CASADEVANTE ROMANI, Carlos. THE RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION: A READING FROM SPAIN. Rev. Fac. [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.2, pp.1-12. ISSN 1850-9371.

In the face of the assertions that Basque and Catalan natio-nalism make to the right of self-determination (concealed behind a non-existent “right to decide”), the fact is that international law not only doesn't recognize a right of external self-determination (a right to independence, to become a State) to the populations of territorial entities of democratic States but the respect of the territorial integrity and the political unity of such States continues to constitute the limit of that right.

Keywords : Spain - Nationalism - Self-determination - Independence -Secession - Rule of law - Right to decide..
