Un-Loving International Organizations

Abstract This short essay reflects on the various reactions provoked by the earlier publication by this journal of the article entitled ‘The Love for International Organizations’. It sheds a different light on some part of the argument developed therein while also providing new insights on what a turn to affects and emotions can contribute to the study of the law of international organizations. It simultaneously challenges the idea that international organizations are actual things-in-the-world and invites international lawyers to approach them in a different way.
