This page intentionally left blank Non-Governmental Organisations in International Law Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are playing an increasing political role on the international scene, and their position in relation to international law is generally regarded as important but informal Their actual legal status has not been the subject of much investigation This book examines the legal status of NGOs in different fields of international law, with emphasis on human rights law By means of a thorough examination and systematisation of international legal rules and practices, Anna-Karin Lindblom explores the rights, obligations, locus standi and consultative status of NGOs This investigation is placed within a wider discussion on the representation of groups in the international legal system Lindblom argues, on the basis of a discourse model of international decision-making, that non-governmental organisation is an important form of public participation that can strengthen the flawed legitimacy of the state-centric system of international law A N N A - K A R I N L I N D B L O M , L L D , is Special Adviser in human rights issues in the Ministry of Justice (Division for Democratic Issues), Sweden She was previously a lecturer in public international law at Uppsala University, Sweden CAMBRIDGE STUDIES IN INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW Established in 1946, this series produces high quality scholarship in the fields of public and private international law and comparative law Although these are distinct legal sub-disciplines, developments since 1946 confirm their interrelation Comparative law is increasingly used as a tool in the making of law at national, regional and international levels Private international law is now often affected by international conventions, and the issues faced by classical conflicts rules are frequently dealt with by substantive harmonisation of law under international auspices Mixed international arbitrations, especially those involving state economic activity, raise mixed questions of public and private international law, while in many fields (such as the protection of human rights and democratic standards, investment guarantees and international criminal law) international and national systems interact National constitutional arrangements relating to ‘foreign affairs’, and to the implementation of international norms, are a focus of attention The Board welcomes works of a theoretical or interdisciplinary character, and those focusing on the new approaches to international or comparative law or conflicts of law Studies of particular institutions or problems are equally welcome, as are translations of the best work published in other languages General Editors James Crawford SC FBA Whewell
