    The Right of Independence

    Uploaded by

    Zaira Asakil
    The document discusses the concepts of sovereignty and independence. It defines internal and external sovereignty as a state's power over its domestic and foreign affairs respectively. Independence gives a state freedom to control its own foreign relations. The UN Charter recognizes the right of self-government and progressive development of political institutions for territories. Key rights of sovereign states include determining their own government and policies, entering treaties, and managing their own affairs free from outside intervention. However, independence is not absolute and states must follow international laws and abstain from intervening in other states except under certain agreed conditions like self-defense. The Drago doctrine of 1902 held that no state can use force to collect public debts, which was later embodied in the 1907 Hague
