The sovereign powers of the state is absolute. The law only exist because there is a geopolitical area called Spain. States often goes outside ambit of the law to remain indivisible. The path taken by Spain to defend her sovereignty and territorial is rational. All states should recollect the UN charter that said: >Article 2(4) of the UN charter stipulates that “All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the objectives of Purposes of the United Nations." This means that the territorial and political independence of any Sovereign State should be respected. The only exception in the non intervention rule above is in the case of self-defense from an armed attack: Article 51 and by the Security Council where world peace and security is threatened and other methods have proven futile. Article 2(7) compliments 2(4) by prohibiting the UN itself from intervention in domestic matters within the control of a State. However, the problem in the two articles is if a right of humanitarian intercession exists. This comment has led to a heated debate in many conferences and summits. Many law scholars argue that humanitarian intervention is illegal under the charter. Others are of the opinion that the rule of non-intervention gone to the ius cogens status where no derogation is allowed.
