International organizations are persons of international law. These international legal persons are bound by the rules of customary international law. The contribution of international organizations to the formation of international customary law rules is controversial. Draft Conclusions on Identification of Customary International Law published by the International Law Commission (ILC) in 2018, had a significant impact on these debates. The ILC has regulated that the practices of international organizations can contribute to the formation of international customary law in certain cases. However, there is no provision regarding international organizations at the point of determination of opinio juris. The ILC incorporated international organizations in the formation of international customary law in a limited and ambiguous way. This article examines the effect of international organizations on the formation of international customary law rules with the developments in the doctrine and the approach of the ILC to the subject. Within the framework of its international legal personality, international organizations can conclude international treaties, have international responsibilities and have various privileges and immunities. Therefore, international organizations should be able to contribute to international customary law, in matters related to their field of activity

Anahtar Kelimeler

ULUSLARARASI HUKUK KOMİSYONU’NUN “ULUSLARARASI ÖRF VE ÂDET HUKUKUNUN BELİRLENMESİNE İLİŞKİN TASLAK SONUÇLAR” METNİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE ULUSLARARASI ÖRGÜTLERİN ULUSLARARASI ÖRF VE ÂDET HUKUKUNA ETKİSİ

Öz

Uluslararası örgütler uluslararası hukukun kişileridir. Bu uluslararası hukuk kişileri uluslararası örf ve âdet hukuku kuralları ile bağlıdır. Uluslararası örgütlerin uluslararası örf ve âdet hukuku kurallarının oluşturulmasına katkısı ise tartışmalıdır. Uluslararası Hukuk Komisyonu (ILC) tarafından 2018 yılında yayımlanan Uluslararası Örf ve Âdet Hukukunun Belirlenmesine İlişkin Taslak Sonuçlar belgesi bu tartışmalara önemli bir etkide bulunmuştur. ILC, uluslararası örgüt uygulamalarının bazı durumlarda uluslararası örf ve âdet hukuku kurallarının oluşumuna katkı sunabileceğini düzenlemiştir. Ancak opinio juris’in tespit edilmesi noktasında uluslararası örgütlere ilişkin bir hüküm yer almamaktadır. ILC, uluslararası örgütleri uluslararası örf ve âdet hukukunun oluşumuna sınırlı ve muğlak bir biçimde dâhil etmektedir. Bu makale uluslararası örgütlerin uluslararası örf ve âdet hukuku kurallarının oluşumuna etkisini doktrindeki gelişmeler ve ILC’nin konuya yaklaşımıyla birlikte incelemektedir. Uluslararası hukuki kişiliği çerçevesinde uluslararası örgütler uluslararası andlaşma akdedebilir; bunların uluslararası sorumluluğu söz konusudur ve bu örgütler çeşitli ayrıcalık ve bağışıklıklara sahiptir. Bu nedenle, uluslararası örgütlerin uluslararası örf ve âdet hukukuna da faaliyet alanlarına ilişkin hususlarda katkı sunabilmeleri gerekmektedir.
