fully recognized entity in international law
Explanation:
Or "has full international legal personality".

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/german-english...

Traditionally, sovereign states were the only international legal persons recognized by public international law. Only legal persons can enter into formal international legal relations. However, the emergence of intergovernmental organizations over the past sixty years has considerably changed the horizontal structure of inter-state relations. The United Nations and the World Trade Organization have not only acquired legal personality but have also enacted new rules for international law governing state behavior.

agree  Steffen Walter: Or "... under international law". / @Adrian There's no ambiguity here because "Völkerrecht" clearly is "international law", as opposed to "private international law". Note that the context of this question comes not even remotely close to the latter.

neutral  Adrian MM.: internat. law is ambiguous. There's also PIL - private internat. law a.k.a. conflict of laws. Your quote actually refers to the public variety. // No. It isn't obvious. If it were, translators + interpreters would stop querying the difference.
20 mins
  -> It's obvious from the context that this is not about private international law, but about relations between states. And the German doesn't say "internationales Privatrecht".//My dictionary reference doesn't make the distinction, because it's unnecessary.

a fully recognized subject of international law.


Explanation:
The source could be better because Völkerrechtssubjekt seems to often be an adjective and not a noun. Nevertheless, in this case I believe translating it as a noun makes sense. The organisation is a subject in the sense that in the middle ages people were the king's subjects.

disagree  Steffen Walter: An international organisation (see context) cannot be a "concept" or "fact". / Please re-read the context of this question. It refers to the United Nations being a "Völkerrechtssubjekt". Question is who needs new glasses here.
9 hrs
  -> The reference is to the myopic term 'Völkerrecht', NOT some specific organization. New glasses?
