9 In regard to the Draft Declaration, for example, Knop writes that the “issue of secession to be resolved in die declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples was whether to recognize a right to secede and if so, on what basis” (p. 262). And in contrasting two possible readings of the approach of the chair of the Indigenous Peoples Working Group, Knop identifies as a “difficulty” the fact that one reading “seems to justify a more limited right of secession” than the other (p. 273).
