Résumé

The international recognition of the principle of the right of peoples to ‎self-determination emerged through the charters of global and regional ‎international organizations, as well as international human rights ‎conventions. This is in addition to the role of the United Nations through ‎General Assembly resolutions and Security Council decisions that effectively ‎and practically codified the principle. Consequently, exercising this right as ‎an international UN mechanism aimed at securing the independence of ‎nations under colonial rule and conferring legal legitimacy on the right of ‎self-determination must primarily rely on these legal rules codified in ‎international charters. This research paper aims to shed light on the concept ‎of self-determination as a principle of international law, alongside studying ‎the Western Sahara issue as a case study embodying the Sahrawi people's ‎right to self-determination within international practice.‎
