Suverenih

Suverenih is a term originating from Slavic languages, directly translating to "sovereign" or "supreme." In a political context, it refers to a state or entity that possesses supreme authority within its territory, free from external control. This concept is central to the idea of national independence and self-determination. A suverenih state has the exclusive right to govern its internal affairs, enact laws, and conduct foreign policy. The principle of suverenih is a cornerstone of international law and the modern state system, underpinning concepts like territorial integrity and the non-interference in the domestic matters of other states. The exercise of suverenih can be limited by international treaties or customary law, but the inherent authority remains. Historically, the development of the suverenih state emerged from the decline of feudalism and the rise of centralized monarchies, culminating in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which is often cited as a pivotal moment in solidifying the modern concept of state suverenih. Disputes over suverenih can be a significant source of international conflict.
