Question

In which of the following situations will the sovereignty of a state as a whole be affected?

• A. Conquest of one country by an other state
• B. Division of country into provinces
• C. Agreed transfer of some territory of one country to another
• D. Change in the party in power in the country

Answer 1

The correct option is A Conquest of one country by an other state

The concept of state sovereignty entails that states are in comprehensive and exclusive control of all the people and property within their territory. State sovereignty also implies that all states are equal as states. As all states are on par with one another, one state cannot interfere with the internal affairs of another state. Essentially, sovereignty demands that one state cannot claim that another state takes any particular internal action. Hence, if the conquest of one country is done by another, the sovereignty of the former gets affected.
