 Jubilee Research: The illegal foreign debt: the value and likelihood of a legal ruling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Between 1868 and 1896 the Argentine lawyer Carlos Calvo developed and defended an extreme version of national sovereignty: foreign interests must be unconditionally subject to domestic laws, discarding European notions of the sacredness of contract.
By linking the doctrine of the great jurists, Calvo opposed the British pretensions and in a truly titanic enterprise obtained recognition of Paraguay’s sovereign rights, and the unreasonable nature of the actions pursued hitherto.
The State is a sovereign entity and one of the conditions proper to any sovereignty is that no executive procedure may be initiated or fulfilled against it, because that would compromise its very existence and would undercut the independence and action of the respective government (17).

The Special Rapporteur noted that the Calvo doctrine was formed to prevent abuse and to allow the foreign national to agree to be bound by the principle of equality with nationals who are subject to the sole jurisdiction of their courts alone.
He also made reference to later developments where States through agreements recognized the right of the State of nationality to take action, including before an arbitral body, to enforce the rights accorded by the treaty to their nationals or where an individual was granted direct access to international arbitration.
The same was true in the case of the Calvo clause, whereby the alien contractually declined diplomatic protection from his State of origin.
