Jackonicko,

This is not about dissolution, it's about secession of one small area. And in the area in question, there is a MASSIVE majority in favour of secession.

When the vast majority of an area want independence then I'd dispute anyone else's claim that the area in question was 'their territory'.
Are you suggesting that if a sovereign nation has an ethnic minority that has carved out an 'area' for itself within its borders, and is ethnically distinct within that area boundary, then there is a case to grant them independence if they so wish?

If you are, then we are indeed heading into troubled waters for the foreseeable future.
