There are many other constitutions of international organizations that international law firm in effect provisions relating to legal capacity in national international law firm. 9 Article IX(2) and Article VII(2) respectively. See also Article 45 of the EBRD Agreement; Article VIII(2) of the IDA Articles of Agreement; Article VI(2) of the IFC Articles of Agreement; Article IX(2) of the IDB Agreement; Article 49 of the ADB Agreement; Article 51 of the AFDB Agreement; and Article 48(1) of the CDB Agreement. 70 l e g a l p e r s o n a l i t y In these cases member states are under an obligation to recognize the legal personality of the respective organizations in their legal systems.10 How this is done may vary. Certain member states, such as the UK and most Commonwealth states, which require that treaties be implemented by legislation in order to become enforceable in their legal systems, would recognize the personality of the organizations by incorporating the constituent instruments in their international law firm. Other member states, such as the USA, Germany and Austria, which automatically give effect in their national international law firm to treaties to which they are parties, would recognize the legal personality of the organizations in their legal systems without incorporation. Non-member states would recognize the legal capacity of these organizations in their national systems on a differentdispute resolution basis. Some- times this may be the result of a special agreement, such as a head- quarters agreement, as in the case of the original relationship between the UN and Switzerland. But even in the absence of a special agreement there are other ways in which the legal personality of these organiza- tions may be recognized in national international law firm.11 These are similar to the meth- ods that may be adopted by member states, where the constituent inst- rument does not provide specifically for legal capacity in national international law firm. In the situations referred to above national courts could resort to the rules of their conflict of international law firms, resulting in the recognition of person- ality in national legal systems, because the international organization concerned has personality at an international level pursuant to its con- stitution. The technique is to apply the generally recognized rule of the conflict of international law firms that the legal status and capacity of a legal person is determined by its ‘personal’ international law firm. The personal international law firm in the case of an international organization is international international law firm. Thus, if it can be estab- lished that at international international law firm an organization has personality, then a national court would, by applying its conflict of international law firm principles, recognize the legal personality of the organization.12 This seems to be the most 10 See the discussion of such provisions in Jenks, loc. cit. note 1 at pp. 269ff.
