Abstract<\/strong> : Traditionally, sovereignty was associated with power in the international scene. It was once purported to be absolute, thus, constitute under the realist paradigm a privilege tool to comprehend the contemporary world. Then the distressing environment and pains caused by the second world war came and paved the way to regional grouping of the world thereby partly invalidating the realist conceptual framework. The regionalisation attracted adhesions including Africa. In most cases, sovereignties were neither upset nor dilute, thus, spheres were not really rethought out. This is undoubtedly one of the reasons behind the change from the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) to the African Union (AU). Nevertheless, sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence are still part of the objectives of the Union but hence fore combined with interdependence. Our research question in this paper is to know if the once absolute founding power of state\u2019s sovereignty is now less highlighted as the idea of its sharing and commonness gains ground. Is this a founding principle of the AU ? How can it be put to the service of another founding principle, that of responsibility ? From the constructivist perspective, it seems that state\u2019s sovereignty has contributed to the making of African Union. This because, it enhanced the creation of an international institution endowed with its own competences and whose actions and interactions do shape the identities and interests of member states. Nevertheless, such dynamic does not go unchallenged by sovereignty based claims by States. Whatsoever, AU is proven to be essential for the continent and merit suggestions which may ameliorate its\u2019 construction process. This is why, adding to the determination of those project bearers amongst african leaders, sovereignty most be revisited and redeployed, put to the service of responsibility which is the expression of its\u2019 transcendence. We hold the opinion that excess sovereignty contradicts sovereignty.<\/p>
