Inhoud
Public International Organizations, including the European Union, together form the structural web of co-operative relationships between states. They have also become elements of the modern state’s institutional system and of its public administration.
The law of public international organization is the body of rules, principles and concepts governing the functioning of international organizations, their interrelationships and their legal connection with the (member) states’ administrations. It is vigorously evolving under the pressures of globalization, including the world’s modern security problems.
The present course deals with the structural legal principles of public organization as appearing in the world community at large, notably the UN system and the most advanced form of public international government, the European Union. It will look from a comparative perspective at such issues as the relationship between “legislature” and “executive”, delegation of powers, mechanisms of supervision of implementation of norms by Member States and different techniques of norm creation in international organizations.
