The Love for International Organizations Is Not so Much Logic; It Is Experience

Abstract This brief contribution identifies three main experiences that are at the root of the author’s love for international organizations and their law. First, international organizations law serves a certain finality that is in most cases worthwhile and invaluable. Second, a comparative approach demonstrates that there is unity within diversity within this (sub)field of law. Third, the practitioners and academics in this field share an extraordinary dedication to international organizations and their law, and have become an ‘invisible college of international organizations lawyers’.
