LEGAL PERSONALITY OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Summary/Abstract: In the theory and practice of international law, international organizations are treated as subjects of international law. The issue of legal personality of international organizations is quite specific and in many ways it has differences with the legal personality of the sovereign states. But through its actions the international organizations express their personality at the national level as well as at international level. Legal status of international organizations in national law is an issue that each state regulates by the norms of its legal system. International organizations have legal personality if they have the ability to possess certain rights and obligations in accordance with international law and if there is autonomy in their operations. Special form of manifestation of the legal personality of international organizations are the privileges and immunities of international organizations and officials, and the ability of international organizations to conclude contracts in its own name and for its own account. When we talk about the international personality of international organizations, its also important the issue of jurisdiction. Although international organizations which do not contain supernational features, have their own territory and population, its possible in a limited extent to talk about territorial and personal jurisdiction of organizations that do not contain supernational character.
