Ivanov takes the time to define the principle of self-determination:
For self-determination to take place there should be a community of people considering themselves a distinct nation/people in the first place, then they must claim their right to self-determination and the opportunity to choose a self-determination option of their preference, and last but not least, that claim needs to be recognized by the respective central government.

John Otto Ondawame The Future of the Falkland Islands and Its People… (2003)

Self-determination implies the right to independence of peoples in colonies and territories in accordance with Article 73 of the UN Charter. (Ibid.) Here two important aspects should be clearly understood. First, self-determination is a dynamic and continuous process. People exercise self-determination when they determine their future in the long run. Therefore, the achievement of self-determination is a step forward on the path to ultimate independence. Second, self-determination has both internal and external dimensions.
