Description of suggested change: The first paragraph it's an interpretation of the reference. My purposed change is much closer to a reliable source and to the Wikipedia in Spanish article.

I used the following source: https://opil.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law:epil/9780199231690/law-9780199231690-e873#law-9780199231690-e873-p-29

Here is the Self-determination article in Spanish: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derecho_de_autodeterminaci%C3%B3n Sanbor (talk) 15:41, 7 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure if this request related to the lede falls under the EC protection for WP:PIA enforcement. In any case I would suggest that you find WP:Consensus for this change before an editor implements it and also note that another wiki page isn't considered a reliable source per WP:Circular. In my opinion the current opening of the lede is well sourced and well formulated, but opinion may differ on that.
