Abstract

One of the main characteristics of contemporary international law is the proliferation of the addressees of its norms - the subjects of international law (international legal persons). Nevertheless, certain holders of rights and duties under international law, such as INTERPOL, are still awaiting recognition of their de facto status of subjects of international law. The cause of this is the fact that the concept of international legal personality is still an instrument of international legal doctrine for the recognition or non-recognition of the status of a subject of international law to certain entities. Accordingly, the paper first considers the concept of international legal personality. On that basis, the paper analyses the factual position of INTERPOL in the international legal order and consequently provides an affirmative answer to the question of its subjectivity in international law.
