people are becoming more interconnected with each other. However with all the economic and technological gains there is still controversy of globalization. There has been debate whether globalization undermines sovereignty. As globalization increases it will continue to undermine the sovereignty of states. Globalization means states becoming more interdependent. Depending on other countries gives them more power, therefore they are more likely to act for the welfare of other people even if they are

states should treat aliens by granting them protection. However, the individual was usually associated with the state of residence and not regarded as an autonomous entity in international law. During the Second World War, the link between sovereignty, citizenship and rights that citizens of sovereign states had was apparent. Sovereign states did not always protect the rights of their citizens, as they did not prevent other nations from inflicting atrocities on some of their citizens. However

Legal Opinion on the Benir v. Alba Case (Benir) On the present case being addressed to the International Court of Justice in dealing with the matter of sovereignty over the Island of Manca, the issue of legality belonging to which side of the parties at dispute is put forward. The problem however, lies in, the period at which the dispute took place, for International law has not evolved at that time unlike in this day and age. The Statement of fact is as follows: The Island of Manca, small

International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) 1966, allow for countries that are democratic to be accounted for, but also for countries such as China that are not democratic to be covered as well. For example in Australia, our sovereignty is used to enhance World Order. It is done so through becoming a signatory of the covenant, and then ratifying this covenant in order to turn it into domestic law. Australia also supports the International Criminal Court (ICC), and participates

The International Criminal Court (ICC), created in 1998 (Thayer and Ibryamova 2010), is responsible for investigating and prosecuting the most extreme cases, including crimes against humanity, aggressive crimes, war crimes, and genocide. The credibility of this institution, however, has been compromised due to the United States revocation of support and membership. Initially it is important to recognize the arguments against the United States becoming a member state of the ICC and what precipitated

Unlike many other Nations with a codified constitution, the UK has no single constitutional document- this means, she has no single constitutional document but whose main sources are, Acts of Parliament, Judicial decisions and Constitutional conventions.

However it must be noted that the doctrine of R2P is not legally binding. “HOW CAN BE POSSBILY DO WORSE FLYING UNDER THE FLAG OF R2P THAN WE DID FOR CENTURIES ACCPETING, IN EFFECT THAT STATE SOVEREIGNTY WAS A LICENCE TO KILL” -GARETH EVANS, PRESIDENT OF
