The International Responsibility of the European
Union: From Competence to Normative Control
by Andrés Delgado Casteleiro (Author)
When is the EU responsible under international law? Is
the EU a 'special case' international organisation? The UN General Assembly's
adoption of the ILC articles on the International Responsibility of
International Organisations was only the catalyst for debate on this topic. In
this book, the author examines the legal personality of the EU, how - if at all
- its responsibility under international agreements is shared between Member
States, and how the international responsibility of the EU relates to its
internal responsibilities under EU law. By exploring how in practice such legal
regimes as the ILC, UNCLOS, and the WTO have held the EU responsible, this book
provides an innovative analysis of a fundamental aspect of the relationship
between the EU and international law.
