Par in parem non habet imperium
Appearance
Par in parem non habet imperium (Latin for 'equals have no sovereignty over each other') is a general principle of international law, forming the basis of state immunity.[1][2] Because of this principle, a sovereign state cannot exercise jurisdiction over another sovereign state.[3][4][5]
