Decisions of international organizations as a source for international law

The rapid development of international organizations has confronted the traditional idea of absolute sovereignty and subsequently limited its scope. However, normative decisions are limited to specialized technical organizations, and in such cases member states do adhere to these rules without directing claims of national sovereignty. For instance, the process of amending the International Labour treaty is assigned to the Organization Assembly. Also, amendments to the International Civil Aviation Organization arises from previous Assembly resolutions. According to Jackie, the amendment of the Charter of the United Nations is given to the Organization itself though they must be adopted by two thirds majority , and this applies even to states did not accept the proposed amendments. International organizations have the right to issue internal regulations of a legislative nature at the organizational level. These regulations are seen as a legal act with the ability to produce legal effects i.e., establishing a new legal position or amending of an existing one. However, it is argued that these regulations lack legislative force and are not laws in the strict sense; they bind only those who issued them and serve as a means to organise work within the organization itself.
