'''Westphalian sovereignty''', or '''state sovereignty''', is the principle of international law that each nation-state has exclusive [[sovereignty]] over its territory. External powers should not interfere in another country's domestic affairs. Each state, no matter how large or small, has equal rights to sovereignty. The principle underlies the modern international system of sovereign states. The United Nations Charter states that "nothing should authorize intervention in matters essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state." | '''Westphalian sovereignty''', or '''state sovereignty''', is the principle of international law that each nation-state has exclusive [[sovereignty]] over its territory.
