The lecture aims to present the normative power of the IOs, through the dynamics of the Creators-Creature paradigm in Public International Law. The fundamental distinction between primary and derived subjects of International Law guides the analysis on the origins, as well as on the use and the limits of the normative power in the international arena (apanage of State sovereignty; principal of conferral, theory of competences, etc.). A comparative approach based on a classification of IOs is also key in order to clarify the transcending legal effects of the normative power not only in the international legal order, but also in the domestic legal orders.
