There is a collective right of peoples to national and international democratic self-determination in the sense of an entitlement to the maintenance of elementary standards of democracy in national and international decision-making. National and international democracy are interdependent. The goal is to ensure an adequate overall standard of democracy in multilevel systems of government. While that collective right to national and international democracy is part of jus cogens and has erga omnes effects, it is so vague that violations can only be established in clear-cut cases. It is therefore even more difficult to enforce than the right of self-determination in general.
