Individual Status in The Public International law

Abstract

Individual, nowadays, holds a considerable number of
International Law provisions. Whereas this law admitted a set of
rights for that individual, bound him to a set of obligations and
imposed upon him an international liability in case of breaching such
provisions.
Since the international law addresses the individual directly by
granting such rights and obligations, could we say that the individual
became a subject of public international law?
In spite of the jurisprudential Controversy this issue raised
between pros and cons. Though, international action could not settle
this issue.
That the individual is having a set of rights, being obliged with a
set of obligations and is bearing the international liability especially
upon breaching rules of human rights making us recognize the legal
international personality for that individual.
However, when we compare this character with the personalities
of public international law such as states and international
organizations, we clearly view the extent of individual insufficiency
against those personalities.
Still, the growth that the international law witnessed and the
extent of its overlapping with the national law lessened the borders
between them.
In future, international law may witness a distinguished position
for the individual in the public international law and the present time
could not be its proper time.
