INTERPOL JAKO STRONA TRZECIA TRAKTATU

Abstract

The current Interpol constitution, dating back to 1956, is the only constitution and internal normative document in Interpol that, unlike any earlier constitution or any general regulations, secures in its provisions the institution’s competence to be party to a treaty. In the discussion of this uncommon subject the author mainly focuses upon the validity of the pactum in determinentum (favorem) tertii formula as well as a set of basic rights and duties of this subject of international law. The article also touches upon inherent rights (powers) and implied powers of Interpol, in particular the practice of the institution’s activity in the aspect of international relations and its place in the treaty law structure.
