Abstract
This chapter examines how domestic courts have addressed issues relating to the legal personality, privileges and immunities as well as responsibility of international organizations. Various issues concerning international organizations, including their treaty-making powers, are intrinsically related to the international nature of their legal personality. However, there is a growing number of situations in which international organizations need to act as subjects of domestic law. The chapter first provides an overview of the domestic legal personality of international organizations before discussing the sources and scope of their immunities, the tension between immunities and the right of access to justice, and the question of attribution of internationally wrongful conduct to and the responsibility of international organizations. A number of domestic court cases involving international organizations are reviewed to highlight the diversity of the sources of the institutional law of international organizations, as well as the various traditions of incorporating international law into the domestic legal order.
