Shtet i pavarur

Në ligjin ndërkombëtar, një shtet sovran apo shtet i pavarur është një entitet juridik jofizik që përfaqësohet nga një qeveri qendrore që ka sovranitet mbi një zonë gjeografike. Ligji ndërkombëtar (i njohur ndryshe "e drejta ndërkombëtare") përcakton shtetet sovrane si të paturit e një popullsie të përhershme, territor të përcaktuar, një qeveri, dhe aftësinë për të hyrë në marrëdhënie me shtetet e tjera sovrane.^[1] Është gjithashtu e kuptueshme normalisht se një shtet nuk është as i varur nga dhe i nënshtrohet ndonjë pushteti ose shteti tjetër.^[2]

Ekzistenca ose zhdukja e një shteti është një çështje fakti.^[3] Ndërsa sipas teorisë deklarative shtetformuese një shtet sovran mund të ekzistojë pa u njohur nga shtetet e tjera sovrane, shtetet e panjohura shpesh do të gjejnë të vështirë për të ushtruar fuqi të plotë në bërjen e marrëveshjeve dhe të angazhohen në marrëdhënie diplomatike me shtetet e tjera sovrane.
