Personality

Rose Sydney Parfitt

Chapter 23 in Research Handbook on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), 2025, pp 264-276 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The question of legal personality has been axiomatic to TWAIL scholarship since the seeds of the earliest non-European critique of international law began to germinate in tandem with the earliest seeds of international law per se. This chapter endeavours to provide an overview of some of the most important arguments in this area – whether advanced by TWAIL scholars themselves or unearthed by TWAIL historians from the archives of earlier scholars and practitioners – and to move some way towards an answer to the question of what exactly it is about this body of work that makes its analysis so powerful.
