Book: Sovereignty and non-intervention: origins and evolution

Abstract

The principle of non-intervention is one of the central pillars of contemporary public international law. It emerged as a counterweight to absolute state sovereignty, establishing that no state has the right to intervene in the internal affairs of another. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the origins and evolution of this principle, with a particular focus on the fundamental role played by Latin American countries in its formulation and legal consolidation.
The central thesis of the book is that the principle of non-intervention is not a theoretical abstraction, but a political and legal construct with deep historical roots, forged in response to the experience of foreign interference. The value of the work lies in how it connects Latin American diplomatic history with the development of global international law, an approach that fills a significant gap in Spanish-language literature.
