Description
Summary:In this paper we offer an analysis of the increasing role of NGOs in international public law and assess whether NGOs can be considered subjects of international law. We give a brief overview of how modern NGOs came into being in the 19th century, and how they gained prominence on the world stage with the growth of international public law in the 20th. Using the examples of Interpol and the International Federation of the Red Cross, we give our view on the debate concerning whether these as NGOs can be considered subjects of international law. As we subscribe to the definition of professor Besteliu that NGOs must be a creation of „legal personalities] registered in the domestic legal order of a state " we come to the conclusion that, although the importance of NGOs has grown tremendously in an international legal context, currently no NGO can be subject of international law.
