States are sovereign and they have the fundamental right to self determination. All states are the same in this organization of international. Principle of non-intervention means that i, in my state, can do whatever i want and you have no right to interfere. No state can interfere in the internal matters of another state. Conventions: can challenge the westphalian model in that it sometimes includes external structures to check up on a states behavior. Treaty is different because it does not need to see improvement. Also, i only sign a treaty if you sign it as well. And a treaty is not always voluntary. o. Hugo grotius: a 16th century dutch lawyer that composed a theory of just war.
