Autonomy Statutes are laws that grant specific rights and powers to certain groups or regions, allowing them to govern themselves to a degree. These statutes often aim to recognize the unique cultural, historical, or social characteristics of a community, providing them with the authority to make decisions on local matters such as education, health, and governance. Typically, Autonomy Statutes are enacted in response to demands for self-determination from minority groups or regions within a larger state. They can help promote peace and stability by addressing grievances and fostering a sense of identity and belonging among the affected populations.
