Calvo doctrine

Read a random definition: lex de responsis prudentium

A quick definition of Calvo doctrine:

The Calvo Doctrine is a rule in international law that says that foreigners who live in a country have the same rights to protection as the citizens of that country, but no more. This means that they cannot expect special treatment just because they are from another country. The doctrine was created by a man named Carlos Calvo to make sure that foreigners did not take advantage of their right to diplomatic protection. However, some countries did not like this rule because they thought it took away their right to protect their own citizens when they were in other countries.

A more thorough explanation:

The Calvo Doctrine is a rule in international law that states that resident aliens have the same rights to protection as citizens, but no more. This means that aliens cannot expect more protection than what is given to citizens of a country.

The doctrine was developed by Carlos Calvo, an Argentinian jurist, in his book Le droit international théorique et pratique. It was intended to establish a minimum international standard for the treatment of aliens and prevent them from abusing their right of diplomatic protection.

However, many states rejected the doctrine because it sought to deprive them of their right to protect their citizens in countries where the rights of the general population fell below the minimum international standards.

For example, if a citizen of Country A is living in Country B and is arrested for a crime, they have the right to the same legal protections as a citizen of Country B. However, they cannot expect to receive more protection than what is given to citizens of Country B.
