capacity building programmes rather than helping minority groups to think and articulate their interests on their own, they lean toward indoctrinating minority groups into the mainstream political system. Thus, such capacity building for minorities would be more effective if carried out by international organizations or independent specialized training institutions. Land Rights For minorities who are concentrated in a certain geographical area, the right to self determination does not mean anything if encroachment of majority groups into minority areas is not monitored. This means in order for the right to self-determination to be effective it has to be supported with policies that ensure political and economic domination of minority in that particular area. National governments in contravention of this fundamental principle of right to self-determination, have often encouraged people from one part of the country to move into the historical territory of the minority groups. Such large-scale settlement programmes are often deliberately used as a weapon against minority, both to break open access to their territory’s natural resource, and to disempower them politically, by turning them into a minority even within their own traditional territory. In such situations where the political demography is in favour of the majority groups in minority regions, the right to self determination would hardly serve the interest of minority groups. Therefore, the right to self determination in order to be effective and genuine, it has be accompanied with minority’s rights to exclusive use of their traditional land and certain disincentives to be placed on internal immigration to reduce the number of migrants into the homeland of the minority groups. It is only where national minority groups form a majority in their territory that the concept of right to self determination could be meaningful.
