Victor Rusu

Abstract


Sovereignty is the quality of state power, on the basis of which it is empowered to adopt any political, legal, military and economic decision in all home and foreign affairs, without the interference of another power. The concept of sovereignty was defined in many ways, put in different context by philosophers and legal experts, yet the basic idea remains always the same, and namely - state sovereignty includes 2 inseparable elements: state supremacy within the state and state independence in
relation to other powers.
