I'd like to begin by reaffirming that the Cape Independence Advocacy Group actively encourages informed debate on Cape Independence. The Cape Independence Advocacy Group is strongly non-racial and both its team and its supporters are ethnically diverse. At the CIAG, we identify with the Western Cape electorate as a whole, in all its diversity. To begin with, it is important to note that the right to self-determination is not derived from the South African Constitution, but rather from United Nation (UN) statutes, to which South Africa is a signatory. In 2010, the International Court of Justice advised that there is no prohibition in international law against a people declaring themselves independent.
