The Principle of Self Determination in International Law

Author: interlitigation

International law does not require that all the governments existing on Earth have the consent of the majority of the subjects and are they freely chosen (so-called self-determination internal). Therefore, international law requires the State which governs a territory to enable the self-determination. It is then considered support given to national liberation movements. We cannot talk of a genuine right subjective International of peoples to self-determination: as in the case of minorities, the reports of international law lapse exclusively between the member; it is in respect of all the States that the obligation for the foreign government  exists and is in relations between the State which governs the territory and the other States. It can no longer be denied full personality to international organisations, namely the associations between member equipped of organs for the pursuit of common interests. The agreements that organisations conclude in the various fields connected to their activities are considered productive of rights and obligations real and proper of organisations, it being without effects on legal sphere of the Member States. Symptomatic is the art. 300 of the Treaty of the European Community, according to which the agreements concluded by organization shall be binding even for the Member States. The personality of all international organizations has been clearly established the International Court of Justice in an opinion (1980) the interpretation of agreement (1951) between World Health Organization and Egypt. We must not confuse the personality of international law of the organizations with their personality of national law: if an international organization buy buildings or incurs bonds in a state, will order of that last one to establish within that limits it has the ability to do so. Normally the agreements establishing organisations provide obligation of Member States to recognize the legal capacity in the respective legal systems. The Catholic Church, also in the period between 1870 and 1929, the period in which was less territorial every domain, international personality was always for tradition recognized. It's thus evident not only in the power to conclude international agreements but, on the existence of the State of Vatican City, also in all situations that require the government of a Community planning. A part of the doctrine recognizes the quality of international player also to the Sovereign Military Order Jerusalem of Malta, religious order dependent on the Holy See.The order maintains diplomatic relations with many countries and has obtained the status of observer to the United Nations. Its main activity has character welfare, noble role but not enough to justify the possession of international personality.
