This article discusses the concept of sovereignty in IR, particularly focusing on the principle of non-interference. It highlights how Catherine MacKinnon's feminist critique reveals non-interference can perpetuate patriarchal power structures by ignoring gendered power imbalances, silencing marginalised voices, and prioritising non-interference over relationality. It concludes with a discussion of the relationship between consent, non-interference and non-domination.
