Internal Conflicts as an Exception to the Principle of Equality in Sovereignty

Abstract

The research examines the impact of internal conflicts on the principles of sovereign equality of states, which is foundation of international relations as the main motive for the establishment of political organization and groupings that regulate international action, but this principle has begun to see clear erosion in recent years as a result of various factors most notably internationalized internal conplicts.
It is in this spirit that questions are raised at the legal level concerning the future of the principles of sovereign equality, especially in situations of internal conflict, and calls for the creation of international mechanisms to deal with such conflicts this paper, which concludes that this principle is almost a purely theoretical principle, soon loses its effectiveness and diminishes in the face of certain exceptions and internal conflicts.
