Question: Why can't individuals be legal entities in public international law?
Individuals are not considered legal entities in public international law because, unlike States, individuals cannot make and be bound by international treaties. Instead, individuals rely on governments to represent their interests in international matters. Additionally, since international law is based on the consent of sovereign nations, it is impossible to grant individuals the same status as a State.
