Document Summary

Organization can be found in its founding document and establishes what kind of power it has and in what way they can use it. It also determines the level/amount of sovereignty by member states (for example, the eu has supranational power, Un has a weak one and ngos have none). The more sovereignty the member states surrender, the more effective/powerful it becomes. Legal personality allows international organizations to act as independent actors. 104 gives it legal capacity to act on the international system and perform in the international scene, but it"s not a blank check. This concept should never be ignored because it enables international.
