LEGAL PERSONALITY OF INTERNATIONAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

The legal personality of international intergovernmental organizations is relevant, at international level, from the point of view of the acquisition of rights and obligations. It is the sole way in which the will manifestation of the subjects of international law can be approached. The action of international intergovernmental organizations is limited to the will of founding states, which is regulated by different instruments of international law. Given the fact that the very existence and legality of subjects of public international law depends on the very existence of the legal personality, the study, respectively its analysis, is an equal priority for both theory and practice of the public international law.
