Westphalian Sovereignty | Vibepedia

Westphalian sovereignty is a foundational principle in international law, asserting that each state has exclusive authority over its territory and domestic affairs, free from external interference. Originating from the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, it established the modern international order of sovereign states. However, in the face of globalization and evolving international norms, its relevance and application are increasingly debated.
