Since the Peace of Westphalia, the state has been considered as the most important actor and the subject of international law. The system of international law and international relations had been completely state-centric. Changes caused by historical events in the 20th century influence the position of the state as actor number one in international law. The emergence of new legal theories, including the New Haven School, examines the role of the state and the state-centric system. At the same time, non-state actors are becoming very influential in the sphere of international law and international relations. As much as the power and influence of non-state actors are increasing, that much the power and influence of the state are decreasing. The paper examines whether some of non-state actors have the potential to be considered as subjects of international law. The author analyses the international legal subjectivity of individuals, multinational companies, non-governmental organizations and international organizations. The paper concludes that activities and influence of non-state actors are challenges for the state, but international law is not ready for changes or upgrading regarding the subject of international law.
