Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the international legal personality of the Holy See. The study examines the international legal position of the Holy See and seeks to answer the question: Is it necessary for the Holy See having in its possession any state in order to be able to exist as a sovereign subject of international law? In order to answer this question, the international legal situation arising from the dissolution of the States of the Church and the Papal States are discussed. The study examines the international treaty-making procedures of the Holy See, as well as the diplomatic relations of the Apostolic See, and some questions related to pontifical legates, both from the point of view of international law and canon law.
