Does everyone have the right to choose their own destiny? I firmly believe the answer to this question is yes. Concerning a community, do they have the same right of choice? The importance of the issue lies in the right to choose. In practice, a community's eventual right of choice or outcome of self-determination often determines a government's responses. Even though self-determination is an international law and a procedural right that belongs to the people and not to states or governments, this is ignored by the Colombian government, which has firmly decided not to listen to the demands of the people, who are fighting for political, economic, cultural and social autonomy. The Raizal people of San Andres Island have the right to choose self-determination. The self-determination of peoples is a right recognized by international law. The law makes it a universal principle. The principle of self-determination is contained in Article I of the United Nations Charter. This is also part of the hard law that was affirmed by the International Meeting of Experts for the Elucidation of the Concepts of People's Rights convened by UNESCO. Accordingly, self-determination is recognized as the right of all people to voluntarily define their political situation and freely make decisions regarding the value of land and the use of territory. The nationalist system creates laws and regulates them. These facts cause pressure, tension, intolerance, violence and anxiety in a society. For over a hundred years, the island has retained its identity due to its geographic isolation. Over the past fifty years, the Colombian government has reinforced its nationalist authority through regulations and laws. This system has become a difficult political topic that the central government always seems to avoid, but the self-determination movement keeps it alive. Regardless, the island is governed under a democratic system and the islanders do not participate in it. In fact, there are others who design their political and social systems as well as their economic policies. They have neither the right to protest nor the right to decide over their natural resources. As a community, they have long emphasized the prospect of self-determination, and there are still groups who do not understand this perspective and prefer to remain part of Colombia. They choose personal ambition over community benefits. . The goal of San Andres Islanders as a community is not to be perpetually ruled by others, they seek to control their lives through a legitimate choice of self-determination. It's their right.
