sovereignty movement

The sovereignty movement refers to efforts by groups, often indigenous or marginalized, to gain recognition of their autonomy and self-determination. It focuses on the right of a people to govern themselves, manage their resources, and preserve their culture without outside interference. This movement can manifest in calls for political independence, land rights, or legal recognition. Proponents argue that true sovereignty is essential for preserving their identity and rights, while critics may raise concerns about the implications for national unity or governance. Overall, it seeks to empower communities to make decisions that affect their lives and futures.
