a. the act of state doctrine
b. the doctrine of sovereign immunity
c. the vesting of rights doctrine
d. the governmental interest doctrine

The given scenario is an example of the act of state doctrine.

Option: (a)

Explanation:

The 'act of state doctrine' states that every 'sovereign state' is bound to respect the 'independence' of every other 'sovereign state'. Under this act, a country’s court shouldn’t decide cases that would interfere the country’s foreign policy. This is not an international law but a principle that helps the policymakers and court to make decision on the cases that could hamper the sovereignty of other nations. Thus, this principle is helpful to maintain a sound international relationship and give a clear vision for handling foreign affairs.
