What other rights do countries claim to have? And do they articulate with that language?
Taxation, passing laws, incarcerate people, control trade, etc?
All things countries do.
Is there a declararion on the rights of governments.
Generally they have what I understand as "negative rights." It's not that countries have explicit rights, but have implicit rights to not have things done to them through other countries signing treaties saying the won't do things. So theoretically countries should have a right to not be war crimed by countries that have signed the Geneva Conventions, e.g. why many less radical pro-Palestine commentators are literally only asking for the fair application of international law to Israel
