State Sovereignty.
Kofi Annan;
State sovereignty, in its most basic sense, is being redefinednot least by the forces of globalisation and international co-operation. States are now widely understood to be instruments at the service of their peoples, and not vice versa. At the same time individual sovereigntyby which I mean the fundamental freedom of each individual, enshrined in the charter of the UN and subsequent international treatieshas been enhanced by a renewed and spreading consciousness of individual rights. When we read the charter today, we are more than ever conscious that its aim is to protect individual human beings, not to protect those who abuse them.
Totalitarian leadership that violates the individual sovereignty of citizens has no moral right to claim state sovereignty.
