Talk:Public International Law/Actors in International Law/Individuals

Review: 25 May 2023
Dear Jens,

This chapter perfectly illustrates what we envisaged with the overall approach of integrating history, theory, and doctrine in each part of the book and I absolutely love it. Thank you so much for contributing such a gem to the book! I have also made some minor comments and I think there is potential for better integrating this chapter with the different sub-chapters of the history chapter once they are finished, but otherwise, I think this is good to go. Thank you again!

Herzlich Sué

Dear Jens, This is a great chapter and I have not much to add than the few comments in the text. For the manuscript that we deliver to the publisher, it might be possible that we'll have to shorten the piece a bit in light of the wordcount, but the longer version could stay online here in Wikibooks.

One thing that I think would be important is if you could link to the concepts of personality, subjecthood etc. in Viljam's introduction. Probably also Anne Peters' chapter on animals provides some further potential of mutual engagement.

The section on humanity made me think of Anne Peters' alpha/omega text that seems not to be referenced (not sure its necessary): http://www.ejil.org/article.php?article=1849&issue=92

Thanks for the great text!

Your chapter is truly remarkable as it skillfully explored the question of the legal personality of individuals in international law. It not only provided a comprehensive overview of the traditional discourse surrounding this issue but also offered a fresh perspective. The chapter was exceptionally well-written, presenting complex ideas in a clear and engaging manner that would greatly benefit students. Your ability to explain intricate concepts in a manner that is both understandable and interesting is truly commendable. This approach ensures that students can grasp the concept of individuals in international law. One aspect that I appreciated about your chapter were the frequent references to other chapters within the textbook.

Some minor things:

- You will also find some comments in your chapter in which I elaborate on something more specifically. To view these comments, just open you chapter page and click on "Edit" in the top-right toolbox.

- Note also that the following parts are still missing: required knowledge, learning objectives, conclusion

- Note that I have made very few linguistic improvements to the text
