The contention that institutional norms exert a conforming influence on members is, of course, the key claim of institutional and conventional constructivist approaches in international relations. See, for instance, Thomas Franck, The Tower of Legitimacy among Nations (New York, 1990) Martha Finnemore, National Interests in International Society (Ithaca, 1996) and Amitav Acharya, Constructing a Security Community in Southeast Asia ASEAN and the Problem of Regional Order (London, zooi).

Once a common basis has been established, it is here suggested to apply Thomas Franck s Fairness and John Rawls Justice to selected non-binding instmments in the fields of minority rights and self-determination. Thereby, an alternative... 

Possibly apart from the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the Friendly Relations DeclaratiOTi, the introduced instruments are not counted among sources of binding international law. Sources doctrine only leads us to treaties and customary international law. Yet, the instruments introduced here have left their impressions along the way some more some less. Classically non-binding instruments have a role to play in international law. A new approach is needed that includes the actors and instruments introduced in this chapter. It is the ideas of Thomas Franck and John Rawls on Legitimacy and Justice that the further analysis is based upon. Using their approach, the role of the instruments of this chapter is examined. 

In this I agree with Thomas Franck who speaks of the post-ontological era of international law, where international lawyers no longer need to defend the existence of international law. See Franck (1995), p. 6. 

The ideas of legitimacy, fairness and justice are closely related and different authors use different and sometimes conflicting and overlapping terminology. It is only clear that there are two dimensions the procedural dimension and the substantive dimension. I will use Thomas Franck s terminology as the procedural dimension is based on his theory of fairness. The substantive dimension is primarily based on some of John Rawls ideas of distributive justice. At first, Franck rejected... 

Thomas Franck s procedural fairness termed legitimacy and aspects of John Rawls distributive justice have been introduced as the tools chosen for the analysis. As has been shown, the basis of the discussion is contractarian in the sense that the different actors are related by contracts. Minorities and their rights are considered with a positive attitude without letting minorities have unlimited rights. Self-determination needs to be divided into internal and external self-determination. Internal self-determination is a positive value for individuals. It is still valuable for the group however, the group s needs have to be balanced with those of the majority. This is the content of the contract the restriction to internal self-determination balanced by the well treatment by the state. 

Thomas Franck goes as far back as pre-Christian times to find the ideas that later came to be the basis for self-determination. I restrict myself to modem times. See Franck (1992), p. 53. Kalana Senaratne has criticized the Western ethnocentrism of the generally accepted concept of self-determination. See Senaratne (2013b). 

Volkssouverdnitdt (sovereignty of the people) in the early Modem ages finds its culmination in Thomas Franck s right to democratic governance. 

The relevance of non-binding instmments is shown by applying two sets of criteria. Thomas Franck introduces two dimensions of fairness. Procedural fairness is termed legitimacy and substantive fairness is termed distribute justice. Franck sets up his criteria in relation to mles. 1 use them slightly differently in Chap. 6 on...
