Legal Status of International Non-Governmental Organizations in Europe It may be mentioned that The Hague conference on Private International Law concluded, in 1956, a Convention on the recognition of the legal personality of foreign companies, associations and foundations and that the six original EEC member states adopted, in 1968, a treaty on the mutual recognition of companies and legal persons. A draft European Convention on recognition of the legal personality of international non-governmental organisations was adopted by the European Committee on Legal Cooperation (CDCJ) at its meeting of 25-29 June 1984. Neither of these two international instruments ever entered into force, mainly because of the complex problems which arise in respect of the recognition of foreign commercial companies. www.uia.org /legal/app36.php   (2634 words)

The Role Of Science And "Other Factors" In Codex Decisions Consumers International agrees with and supports the four "Statements of Principle," including both the mandate that Codex standards be based on sound science and the recognition, in the second Statement, that factors other than science are legitimately part of the protection of consumer health and the promotion of fair practices in food trade. Consumers International believes an appropriate response to the recognition of this factor would be to refer the animal welfare discussion not only to CCRVDF, but to CCFL as well. Consumers International conceives the purpose of this case study as being to examine the risk analysis process on BST and to identify factors other than science that are, have been, or perhaps should be part of the basis for decisions, by Codex and other authorities. www.consumersunion.org /food/olfw6ny898.htm   (1034 words)

Alfred Verdross and Othmar Spann: German Romantic Nationalism, National Socialism and International Law When Verdross comes to examine the question whether there are international law rules on the origin of States and the significance of the institution of recognition he gives a long account of State practice on provinces breaking away from the `mother' country. However, on recognition itself Verdross reasserts that a treaty cannot of itself create duties of international law among States. Positive international law in the sense of law derived from State will is clearly not enough to ground an international legal order. www.ejil.org /journal/Vol6/No1/art6-03.html   (1277 words)

apr16a.omri The issue is whether Germany's extension of diplomatic recognition to Slovenia and Croatia at the end of 1991 had a negative or positive effect on the political and military situations in the region. But just as the earlier "recognition debate" raised the question as to whether moves toward diplomatic came too soon and hence produced undesirable consequences, so the same points could be raised now. Belgrade is anxious to regain at least something of the international standing it enjoyed before it became a pariah for many states and international organizations in response to its support for greater Serbian aggression elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia. www.b-info.com /places/Macedonia/republic/news/96-04/apr16a.omri   (849 words)
