უხმო ერები საერთაშორისო სისტემაში: ქურთები და ასირიელები პერმანენტული და პოტენციური კონფლიქტების ჭრილში

The theme of this work concerns ethnic conflicts in the Middle East, particularly
Kurdish and Assyrian questions. Events which developed in the region in recent years
are of high interest sybject in international media and academic institutions. The Islamic
State has appeared In the region in 2010 and that event encourage the emergence of new
tensions between nations and renewed the old ones. The goal of the work is to identify
and address the peculiarities of ethnic conflicts. The main focus of the research is the
Kurdish and Assyrian issues from the Middle East, as the latter was historically handed
over to the major geo-political events of the Middle East. The subject of research is the
relationship between the ethnic conflicts and the principle of internal self-determination
in the international law. The results of the survey show that the ethnic conflict is based
on the inequality and discrimination in society, and the latter is a prerequisite on the road
to the right to self-determination. The study also helps us to understand what are the
criteria in which the ethnic group may consider as a people and what are the demands
that the people should be reclaim in order to use the principal of internal selfdetermination.

and
thus,

we

In
the
theoretical

view,
research

shows
that
the
main
theories
of
international

relations, namely realism, Marxism and
critical theory, can not explain an all aspects of ethnic conflicts. We also saw that
Burton’s “human needs theory”, in particular, security, property, love, trust, personal achievement, identity and cultural security, freedom, wealth, fair distribution of goods
are the essential factors in order to unsure conflict prevention and resolution.
