Rather, you should make the argument that we have a natural right to self-defence. Even Israel does not question the Palestinian's right to self-determination - because that would be idiotic and undermine their own right to self-determination. Rather, they use the argument of self-defence to maintain the integrity of their state.
At the end of the day, this is the only mechanism that will ensure Macedonian sovereignty over western Macedonia - not some contradictory argument about natural rights not applying to Albanians, but at the same time applying to Macedonians. Neither is this argument of natural rights not applying to Albanians going to physically stop any future declaration of independence or the current disintegration of the Macedonian state.
Why argue against our own right to self-determination when we should be arguing in favour of a competing right that supports and does not undermine our own self-government?
