My argument against this motion is very confined. I argue simply that the motion, as drafted, embodies overreach—if passed, it does not caution merely against expansive interpretation, a contested term that is not a legal term of art, but stands for a restrictive, unrecognized rule of interpretation in relation to an entire category of international law documents, the varied instruments conferring jurisdiction on international courts and tribunals.

AbstractFrom the perspective of public international law, the legal personality of the European Union (EU) carries with it the possibility for it to exercise rights and to bear obligations on the international plane. Its quasi-federal structure, however, requires consideration as to how these rights and obligations may be exercised. In this chapter, two regimes are compared: the EU's rights and obligations as an international organisation and the possibility that its internal structures might be recognised on the international plane, thus leading to more complex notions of subsidiary responsibility, shared between the various levels of European governance.
