THE PROBLEM OF INTERNATIONAL RIGHTS OF SMALL EUROPEAN STATES
Abstract
This article is an attempt at defining the current legal status of Liechtenstein, Andorra, San
Marino, and Monaco especially in the view of the changes that occurred in the 1990s. A separate
chapter has been devoted to each of these states and a short description of the states’ history and
economy has been appended, including an analysis of the current status in the international law
of each state. The Author begins by analysing the various terms used in the literature to denote
these states, such as dwarf state, ministate, microstate, miniature state, or a city-state', in addition,
some criteria for the application of these terms are discussed, e.g. the size of the population or
territory. The Author further dwells upon the status of these states under the international law:
their capacity to be parties to a treaty, their right to send and receive diplomatic representatives,
their capacity to make claims under the international law and to be a party in a legal case as
sovereign territorial organisations. Finally, the Author discusses the membership of these countries
in international organisations and their relations with the European Union and European
Communities.
