Institutionalization and humanization are two most dynamic and vital developments of modern international law. Their intertwinement and accommodation in the system of international law became a steady challenge, as can be demonstrated for example on the issue of responsibility of international organisations for human rights violations.

This contribution however takes a more general approach in addressing the issue and asks the question which is as much obvious, as it is crucial and uneasy to answer: do international organisations have by human rights obligations and if yes, what are they sources? The article will conclude that it is not only desirable, but under the current international law also possible to answer it in the affirmative.
