Opis

This monograph traces the intellectual history of the international legal personality of individuals. It demonstrates how many international lawyers still rely on the idea that states are the only subjects of international law, whereas practice shows that the question of the international legal rights and duties of any entity is strictly empirical.

Recenzje

a welcome addition to the literature ... its value is enhanced further by the technically-able treatment Kjeldgaard-Pedersen gives each of the regimes she considers, the historical context within which the major instruments are situated, and the breadth of scope of the investigation. Tom Sparks, German Yearbook of International Law
