Abstract

The question what status the Taliban enjoy under international law or what status may be attributed to them by the Security Council is possibly of relevance for some of the issues addressed and discussed controversially, so far. Apart from that and, more generically, it is worth reflecting whether the traditional views concerning subjectivity under international law should not be reconsidered due to the actions of the Security Council vis-a-vis the Taliban .
