, Notes
Immunity: even though you committed a crime and another state has jurisdiction,
you can’t be prosecuted. You’re untouchable.
Jurisdiction: authority to do whatever you want, to enforce law for example.
Sovereignty: to protect your country and do whatever you want; territorial
jurisdiction, or to do with your citizens as you want; jurisdiction on the basis of
active nationality, protecting your citizens; jurisdiction on the basis of passive
nationality.
Types of jurisdiction because of coexistence, otherwise there won’t be
sovereignty and there will be chaos.
