توضیح
Sovereignty is the supreme power and authority of a state over its own affairs. This is the most accurate definition because it encompasses two key dimensions:
-
Internal Sovereignty: The power of a state to make and enforce laws within its own borders without interference from internal groups or individuals.
-
External Sovereignty: The right of a state to exist independently and manage its own foreign policy without being dictated to by other nations.
