Separatist movements in Europe \'threat to territorial integrity\' - PACE
Some separatist movements in Europe threaten the territorial integrity of countries, peace and stability.

This says in a resolution 1832 entitled \"National sovereignty and statehood in modern international law - the need to clarify\" adopted by the PACE.

The resolution states that progress has recently been recorded in the understanding of national sovereignty and statehood, but emphasizes that understanding the criteria of statehood is one of the most topical issues of the international law, and in PACE member countries, attempts are made to present certain territories as independent states, a diplomatic source told Trend Friday.

The resolution notes that all PACE member countries should in any form avoid recognizing and supporting the de facto authorities and territories, formed as a result of illegal secession.

Although the international law recognizes the right of minorities to self-determination, this right does not create conditions for automatic self-determination, the resolution says.

The Armenian delegation to PACE tried to make numerous changes to the draft resolution (to the provisions concerning the principles of self-determination and recognition of de facto territories), but changes were not adopted.
