The Right of self-determination
  1. All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political
     status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
  2. All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice
     to any obligations arising out of international economic co-operation, based upon the principle of mutual
     benefit, and international law. In no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence.
  3. The States Parties to the present Covenant, including those having responsibility for the administration of
     Non-Self-Governing and Trust Territories, shall promote the realization of the right of self-determination,
     and shall respect that right, in conformity with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations.
