Abstract
Revolutionary acts and preparations are liable to punishment by the criminal law of the community against which they are directed, and belong as such to the domain of municipal law. They become a matter of direct importance to international law when the menaced state finds that the efficacy of its laws and the possibilities of peaceful internal development are being frustrated by revolutionary propaganda or by acts of rebellion coming from abroad. Such acts may, when brought to consummation within its territory, be punished with all the rigor of the law. But the probability of their suppression is diminished and the chances of their success are enhanced as a result of their being hatched out and prepared under cover of the territorial supremacy of another state. It happens thus that what one state believes to be its internationally recognized right of peaceful existence is put in danger in consequence of another state’s right to exclusive jurisdiction over its territory, a right, in turn, fully protected by international law.
