Article 5 - Self-determination
1.
The duty of every state to refrain from the threat or use
of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any
other state includes the duty not to engage in any action that would result in
the dismemberment of any state, or force the secession or annexation of any
territorial unit from that state.

2. Subject to the
right to self-determination of peoples, states shall not engage in any
intervention that seeks to divide or separate a state in a manner that is
contrary to the rules of international law.

3. Every state has the
duty to refrain from prematurely recognising an entity that has purported to
secede from another state, until such a time as the latter entity has developed
the necessary attributes, capacities and legitimacy to function as a state.

4.
Subject to the provisions of the present article, States
should encourage identifiable nation-states that have been divided by longstanding
external or historical factors to engage in co-operation and dialogue. States
should ensure that divided peoples are provided with their right to
self-determination, including, inter alia, measures which may result in unified
government.

5.
Any political system in which power is exercised in
perpetuity by an individual or regime amounting to a manifest denial of the
right to self-determination should be condemned.
