Abstract
Individual, nowadays, holds a considerable number of International Law provisions. Whereas this law admitted a set of rights for that individual, bound him to a set of obligations and imposed upon him an international liability in case of breaching such provisions. Since the international law addresses the individual directly by granting such rights and obligations, could we say that the individual became a subject of public international law? In spite of the jurisprudential Controversy this issue raised between pros and cons. Though, international action could not settle this issue. That the individual is having a set of rights, being obliged with a set of obligations and is bearing the international liability especially upon breaching rules of human rights making us recognize the legal international personality for that individual. However, when we compare this character with the personalities of public international law such as states and international organizations, we clearly view the extent of individual insufficiency against those personalities. Still, the growth that the international law witnessed and the extent of its overlapping with the national law lessened the borders between them. In future, international law may witness a distinguished position for the individual in the public international law and the present time could not be its proper time.
