INTRODUCTION

3. Historic context: since Europe was divided in the
period of Cold War under the post-war
international.
INTRODUCTION

4. INTRODUCTION
League of Nations (1919)
United Nations,
during the 1951
Convention

5. METHODOLOGY
The present work aims to reflect on arguments,
based on legal reasoning and argumentative: the
semantics and the syntax of legal argument.

6. In this section we will demonstrate, through the arguments of
authors advocate the principles of solidarity and self-determination,
as relations between the arguments that make these standards be
sustained or not within the semantic and syntax in legal reasoning.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

7.  Thornberry (1989) :“self-determination is a concept of liberation”;
 Weller (2009): “ self-determination arises from a colonial context”;
 Tomuschat (1993)“self-determination viewed as political claim,
asserted on grounds of solidarity by all third world nations”.
All authors agree that SD affects directly the respect upon HUMAN
RIGHTS and proves a different standard behavior by denotation.
REASONS OF SELF-DETERMINATION

8.  Wellman(2000)“new human rights should be thought of as
solidarity rights”.
 Brunkhorst(2007) “a rule that cannot occupy a capitalist space”.
 Juul(2013) “a mutual responsible orientation to relationships”.
All authors agree that solidarity is a solid argument to
support negotiations involving intercultural issues as a
paradigm for universal HUMAN RIGHTS.
REASONS FOR SOLIDARITY

9. CONCLUSIONS
Methodology of
legal reasoning
International
standards of human
rights
to supporting the principles of
solidarity and self-determination
structured by fallacies.
to strengthening or
deconstructing arguments in

10. CONCLUSIONS
Debate and dissent about both principles: SELF
DETERMINATION AND SOLIDARITY
Guided and limited by elements of syntax and
semantics of the legal reasoning
To achieve arguments to reach more justice
in international conflicts.
