" avery state shall refrain from forcible measures whether or not involving the threat or use of force to deprive peoples under foreign.

domination of their right of self-determination by virtue of which they freely determine their political status end pursue their economic, social and cultural development."

The words between the second set of square brackets represent an alternative and less satisfactory way of dealing with the "force" point, w ich could be used as a fall-back position. "
