Abstract

Legal personality is one of the most important constitutive elements of international organizations. So far, international organizations have acquired legal personality in national as well as in international law. In the first case, international organizations are subjects of national legal systems, while in the second case, they are subjects of international law. However, despite the fact that the United Nations possess legal personality in both national and international law, certain subsidiary organs of the United Nations have also managed to acquire legal personality at both national and international level. The purpose of this paper is to confirm the existence of legal personality of the subsidiary organs of the United Nations in both national and international law, as well as to analyse its relationship with the personality of the United Nations, since the possession of a separate legal personality of the subsidiary organs can lead to the emergence of a new legal entities. Although the subsidiary organs possess legal personality, it is not separate from the personality of the United Nations because subsidiary organs still do not have separate will, which is a prerequisite for the existence of a separate legal personality.
