Subjects of International Law

Por: Anavitarte, E. J.*

The subjects (or actors) of international law are all those legal entities, independent and sovereign, that other states recognize as holders of international rights and obligations.

Within these entities, the main subject of international law is the sovereign state, which is in turn the creator of the international order; Organizations capable of binding themselves to states, such as the Holy See, the Red Cross, the EU, the IMF, or FIFA, are also recognized as such.

All these entities must, at a minimum, be independent (a) economically, (b) politically, and (c) legally, which gives them sovereignty, the ability to bind themselves and to relate to each other. Thus, for example, they can establish treaties, open embassies, permanent headquarters, request funds, etc.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
