El principio de no intervención es una de las primeras obligaciones de los gobiernos, es el respeto debido a la libertad de los pueblos y a los derechos de las naciones.

„Всякий народ имеет то правительство, которое его имеет.“
The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
Из заметок к речи в Брейнтри (Массачусетс) (Весна 1772)
I must tell you that the liberty and freedom <of the people> consists in having of Government, those laws by which their life and their goods may be most their own. It is not for having share in Government, that is nothing pertaining to them. A subject and a sovereign are clean different things. If I would have given way to an arbitrary way, for to have all laws changed according to the Power of the Sword, I needed not to have come here, and therefore I tell you... that I am the martyr of the people.

„Если поколение имеет свободу, то оно вместе с тем как бы получает право на саморазрушение.“
