SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE
SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE

Summary/Abstract: The concept of sovereignty has a complex dimension, encompassing a multitude of distinct features and concepts. Although in everyday language it may be associated with"independence" or even the idea of "supremacy", we will notice that its limits do not stop here. Sovereignty, along with population and territory, is one of the constituent elements of the state. State sovereignty identifies with prerogative of manifesting itself freely and unrestrained and deciding on its affairs, both internal and external, being thus supreme and independent. Just as our freedom stops where the freedom of another begins, mutatis mutandis, the sovereignty of a state stops where the sovereignty of another begins.
