172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind

172 Schoultz That Infernal Little Cuban Republic p 484173 Ibid The new law like the other US measures seeking to change the political

situation in Cuba poses serious questions regarding whether or not Helms-Burton violates basic principles of international law A fundamental principle of international law is territorial sovereignty ie each nation is sovereign and so has the right to exercise jurisdiction and control over matters within its territory From its inception territorial sovereignty has been derived from three broad principles (1) all states are formally equal (2) no state may legally interfere in the purely internal affairs of another state and (3) territory and jurisdiction are coextensive Walker A Manual of Public International Law (1984) There are two other important concepts related to territorial jurisdiction (1) territo-rial integrity which gives a state the right to demand that other states refrain from committing acts that violate the independence or territorial supremacy of that state and (2) nonintervention which requires that a state not interfere with the internal or external affairs of another state A state may thus make laws that pertain to persons and activities within its territory and with which no other state may interfere (note ldquoThe Cuban Democracy Act Another Extraterritorial Act That Wonrsquot Workrdquo Brooklyn Journal of International Law v 20 [1994] pp 397ndash442) Helms-Burton would appear to violate these prin-ciples as well as the United Nationsrsquo Declaration on Principles of International Law (Declaration) concerning friendly relations and cooperation among states called for in the charter of the United Nations The Declaration which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1970 prohibits a state from using or encouraging the use of economic political or any other type of measures to coerce another state in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights and to secure from it advantages of any kind
