Abstract
In this chapter, we analyse how state sovereignty has been changing away from the Westphalian concept. Particular attention is directed to the emergence of conditional sovereignty in the form of democracy/human rights today. How far has a normative change in this direction taken place, and what may it imply for the use of force in a pro-democratic direction?
