According to the theory of [[state continuity of the Baltic states]], the republic of Latvia existed as a ''[[de jure]]'' sovereign state from 17 June 1940 to 4 May 1990{{cn|date=June 2024|reason=This is a disputed theory, but does have some support that could be found in RS.}} and was represented by the [[Latvian Diplomatic Service]], which controlled limited state functions during its occupation. Latvia did not engage in warfare during this period.{{cn|date=June 2024|reason=That is a convenient statement to brush aside any accountability the claimed continued functioning of the Latvian state might have had in war crimes. After all, if the state continued to exist, then it was possibly engaged in warfare during this period. This needs reliable sources instead of just an assertion.}} |
