Most international law experts disagreed with Kosovo being annexed at the time.

The right to self determination is why we threw out the Brits.

I guess you prefer we had stayed under British rule.
I support this right to self determination.

Link, please.

“The right to self determination is why we threw out the Brits.”

Was there a British law or constitution that forbade our declaration of independence? No.

Does the Ukrainian constitution address referenda and autonomy?
Yes. It states that ALL Ukrainians, not just those in the affected areas, get to vote on the matter. This was the issue a few years ago when the Donbas talked of seceding; when Kyiv pointed this out, the separatists’ sponsor, Russia, cried FOUL!

Rule of law, you know: it’s what tries to keep the world from anarchy and chaos.
