++++++++++
Evidence: 1. However , this is a right guaranteed under international law .
2. Modern liberal democracy is founded on the idea that people should be free to decide their own leaders and their own futures , but not all states give their minority peoples such a right .
3. The two important United Nations studies on the right to self-determination set out factors of a people that give rise to possession of right to self-determination : a history of independence or self-rule in an identifiable territory , a distinct culture , and a will and capability to regain self-governance .
4. The International Court of Justice has held that this right applies not just to national governments but also people .

Problem: Reparations would be a step towards closing colonial scars. Come up with some evidence to support this.
++++++++++
Evidence:
Answer: 1. In this way they can begin to move towards a fresh , equal and co-operative relationship with the developing countries which were their former colonies , without the background of history which currently warps such relationships .
2. Italys payment of reparations to Libya allowed Libya to mend fences with the West and to improve international relationships .
3. This is a step to recognise developing countries as a nation , rather than an economic opportunity .
4. In this way , reparations would be an effective way of demonstrating a global community and spirit .
5. It is difficult for former colonies to feel as if they can move on and develop a wholly independent identity when their ties to the past , and to their former colonisers , have not been definitively ended .
6. For example , while it is important to remember those who suffered under slavery , the overwhelming memory of it overpowers the history of those countries and innately links them back to former colonial powers .
7. Furthermore , many of the problems now faced by former colonies can be traced back to the actions of colonial-era masters , for example the birth of ethnic tensions between minorities in Rwanda and Burundi .
8. In order to move on from that damaging legacy , and to conclusively prove that such prejudices are wrong , it is necessary for former colonial powers to show a tangible move towards closing that colonial chapter of their history .
