Then what is the solution to this problem? Sorry, I really don’t want to go there. It just seems like what we have now is a band-aid solution (outside pressure) that is stalling what you have described or a real solution that could create massive chaos. I don’t really wish for this latter outside force solution, although it has been an effective during the last century (ie,The Axis empire, Pol Pot, Bosnia…). We also never really dealt with these issues in these later cases until so much damage was done, or after the fact.

And this probably comes back to Westphalian notions of national sovereignty. I am sorry because I am getting off topic. Perhaps the editorial staff could have a contributer dealing with your very interesting question about the limits of sovereignty.
