摘要： 国家领土完整原则和人民自决原则在当代国际法中均占有重要的地位。冷战后，自决原则的进一步发展使之与分离权的联系日趋密切，在殖民主义之外，单方面分离权挑战国家领土完整原则，但包括分离权的自决原则并没有成为实在国际法规范。为避免这两项原则之间的对立冲突，应当使自决原则的适用受到领土完整原则的限制；而在国内，一国应切实保障少数民族的自治权。

Abstract: The principle of the territorial integrity of states and principle of self-determination of peoples are two very important principles in contemporary international law．Since the cold war ends，the self-determination principle has become increasingly complicated and challenges the principle of the territorial integrity．However，the self-determination principle including the right of secession has not so far become norms of positive international law．This paper points out that the self-determination principle should be subject to the principle of the territorial integrity SO that the two principles don’t conflict each other，and that any states should practically safeguard the right to autonomy of minority nationalities．
