International organizations and state sovereignty in the process of globalization

The concept of sovereignty is one of the most debated concepts of international relations, public law and political sciences. There is not generally accepted definition of the concept but also the concept has been differentiated in historical process. The understanding of sovereignty today in the world is signed, in general, as the right of any State for employing its powers of administration upon the country?s lands. This concept has a lawful meaning as well as a political meaning; and these two meanings are interchangeable with each other. Sovereignty represents the power of the State and as long as the nations enter into collaboration with each other, the view sovereignty comes into discussion and question.The profundity that integration process reached has brought a new dimension to the sovereignty discussions and basic data about sovereignty must be queried. Globalization is a concept containing the issues being connected with each other such as the development of economic, social and political relationships among the countries, and the better understanding the beliefs and expectations of the nations? cultures, and the intensification of international relationships. The process of globalization diminishes the power and efficiency of the governments being within the structure of nation-state; so such governments have difficulty in controlling the flow of economic objects, technological innovations, information, news and ideas, and the possibility of the nation-states for following up their national law system decrease gradually.The phenomenon of globalization puts the fact that the countries participate in the organizations guarding and protecting their common interests and benefits at international and supranational level into foreground. There are a lot of examples has shown the sovereignty is not a static conception so said to be it has been transforming in globalization period. Today in the world, there are many forces challenging to the established models and practices of the state dominance. The United Nations and European Union are sui generis international restructuring with their organizational structures being formed in line with both their goals and also with reaching such goals, which cannot be observed in any international organization.Specially, since Second World War there is strong stress on individual human rights. In same period, human rights regime has been developed by international organizations. So nowadays the international human rights regime is became a part of international law which reduces rights of states. At this point, there have been changes in the functions of sovereignty because of affected area of international organizations and basic human rights principles. As a result notion of ?national sovereignty? reached a new dimension.
