Record 2 2011-04-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • International Public Law
  • International Relations
DEF

... jurisdiction ... which falls within the exclusive competence of a State and over which it claims and reserves the exclusive right to act, uninterfered by other States, considering that it alone is competent to order and regulate such matters which are essentially within the domain of its internal (home) affairs.

CONT

The term "domestic jurisdiction", as used in the theory and practice of international law, mainly since the Covenant of the League of Nations, is not a new legal concept from the point of view of its content. Indeed, it does not mean anything else or anything more than the term sovereignty in the sense of the supreme power of the State over its territory and inhabitants in the framework of international law binding upon the State. What some authors used to call "internal sovereignty" corresponds to domestic jurisdiction. This term does not mean exactly the same thing as the French expression "compétence exclusive de l'État, "although it is translated in this way in the Covenant.
