| Abstract: | Picking up where the transnational law movement left off, thisarticle seeks to further bring down the conceptual walls whichdoctrine has established at the nexus between the national andinternational domains.This article examines received wisdomon the status as a subject of public international law and arguesfor such status and attendant immunity for non-governmentalorganizations when performing de jure imperii tasks on the internationalarena. Furthermore, it demonstrates how public internationallaw disputes between States may be resolved in the domesticCourts of the defendant State. Finally, the article shows howthe Statute of the International Criminal Court straddles thedomestic and international domains by creating norms ultimatelyenforceable towards individuals regardless of whether the normswere incorporated or transformed domestically. It expressesthe hope that the Statute will be followed by many brethren! |
