| 单词 | state |
| 释义 | state 1. a permanent population (although, as in the case of the Vatican or Nauru, this may be very small); 2. a defined territory over which it exercises authority (although its borders, as in the case of Israel, need not be defined or undisputed); 3. an effective government. There are currently over 190 states. When a new state comes into existence, it is automatically bound by the principles of international law. For some purposes, entities that do not normally qualify as fully fledged states may nonetheless be treated as such. Liechtenstein, for example, was refused admission as a state to the League of Nations (and did not become a member of the United Nations until 1990), but is a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, which is only open to states. See also boundary; jurisdiction. |
