Abstract
The past decades have been marked by advance of the European Union(EU) into the world of international organizations. Union membership of organizations remains a relatively rare occurrence. It has obtained status in the EBRD, the WTO, the FAO, the Hague Conference on Private International Law and the Codex Alimentarius Commission. EU's international identity is broken down into several elements. Firstly, despite its newly gained competence for military action and the acquisition of the necessary resources, they argued that it is pacific. Second, with its liberal-democratic agenda centered on peace, liberty, democracy, the rule of law and human rights, it was alleged to be principled. Third, with its preference for deliberation and dislike of polarization. Fourth, with its variety of governance modes sprawled across different levels and locations, it predominantly carries a network-character. Finally, its decision-making, consultation and legislation processes render it a politically open rather than a closed system. Keywords:Codex Alimentarius Commission; European Union(EU); Hague Conference; human rights; liberal-democratic agenda; Private International Law
