Summary

The foreign state in the municipal legal system

The legal problems of foreign relations law treated in Part IV of this work are all concerned with the manner in which the organs of the Anglo-Commonwealth state – executive, legislature and judiciary – deal with the position of the foreign state within the municipal legal system. These issues may most conveniently be considered in three chapters:

(1) Chapter 10 deals with the legal personality of the foreign state within the municipal legal system: its status and recognition; the effect of non-recognition of states on the vindication of private rights and interests; and the representation of states – the manner in which governmental competence to represent the foreign state is determined. These issues are fundamental predicates to the rest of Part IV, since it will only be where there is a legal person competent to act within the municipal legal system through duly authorised representatives that rights may be asserted by or against it.
