Bekyashev, K.A. Legal status of the Eurasian Economic Commission

Abstract: The article is devoted to the prerequisites for the formation of the Eurasian Economic Commission. The author characterizes its functions from the point of view of international law. The Commission acts based upon the three principles: a) mutual profit, equal rights and regard for national interests; b) economic feasibility of decision; c) open, public and objective character. These principles are not of legal character. However, since they are included In the Treaty of November 18, 2011, they have legal value and are obligatory for the members. According to the Art. 1 of the Treaty of November 18, 2011, the Commission is a regulating body and an international autonomous body, which is formed based on the international treaty. The article includes positions in support of such a view. The author considers that the Commission is not a supra-national organization, since he believes that there is no such thing as such organizations.
